My DH and I consider dressing up wearing new jeans and a clean polo! We used to be conscious of our cycling clothes but now frequent places used by other cyclists. Besides, my sister keeps complimenting my DH on his new physique and he gets lots of compliments on his Pink Floyd jersey.

Plus, the cycling outfit I have on probably costs more than what they are wearing (add in buff, helmet, sunglasses, shorts, jersey, gloves...........) I also console myself with the thought that the people starting are usually overweight, unhealthy, people driving SUV's and they are secretly jealous! I know, it used to be me :-)
