You're right, Zen, I saw them as well. According to their size charts, I should be able to wear a medium, but since the medium is more than just a "race fit" for me, I'll get them to send me a large, and hope that fits!Originally Posted by zencentury

I just tried it on (I'm home...cruise control at 70 + light traffic = record time for me: CT to MD in 5', 15" !)...definitely "race fit." It says on their website that "size is accurate" and if you want a looser fit, order up. For me - a stout size 12 - the L fits closely...about like a Descente jersey in L fits. I'll save it for my "skinny days" and hope I'm feeling a skinny day the day of the ride!

I talked with someone in customer service at Terry yesterday morning, and she said they were already back ordered for the jerseys. If you need to make an exchange, I suggest you make a call right away to Terry to see if you can get on the list for back orders. She told me that lots of people were telling them the jerseys were cut very small.
On a much happier note, I got my *welcome to the ride* letter yesterday!

OK, so I just read through this whole thread, and I think the following TE'ers will be there:
7Rider/Regina (+ SO for kayaking?)
Kalidurga
withm
velobambina
amithereyet
jeannierides + SO
clickIn + friend
LadyinWhite + 2 friends
Some of us will be kayaking on Saturday, but it would be nice if we could figure out how to meet up with everyone (after the ride on Sunday maybe?) so we can put names and faces together.

I'm sure it'll be chaos, but I was wondering if there was any chance of meeting before the ride. Do we know yet what time it begins? Would breakfast be a possibility?
Those of us 'yakking on Saturday also need to figure out a time/place to meet. I would assume the Blackwater visitor's center, but how early?"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

A month to go....
I still plan to do the metric.
PLAN is the operative word here. Haven't ridden much in the past month. I figure, if I can do the Civil War Century after not riding at all for 2 weeks, this should be a piece of cake..... (right?? right??)
So, who's doing what ride? I figure we gotta definitely hook up at the end so we can cheer on DivingBiker when she wins her new bike.

At the rate things are going, I may be doing the 25. I've only been on the bike once since our Thanksgiving Rosaryville ride, and I can't ride this weekend because I have bronchitis. My poor bike doesn't even recognize me anymore when I walk by and pat it on the saddle
