    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

    I have some of mine. Some disintegrated.

    I will say I was a bit panicked when I though I had lost my Death Ride number - which has a sticker on it from each of the five passes. Then I realized I had clipped it to a magnet on the refrigerator!! (Probably should use that as motivation to open the refrigerator less, but I don't. )

    I've kept most of mine but I don't have that many, just Peanut Ride and Ride Across Indiana. There's a little corner on top of a bookcase for my tiny little athletic endeavor collection - it amazes me that there's stuff there at all since those sportsmanship trophies from chldhood

    A thousand years ago when I was running - and did a sorts of events from 5Ks to marathons and tri's, I kept my numbers (and medals) for 2 years... after a while it was just this big mess, a pile of paper so now its all gone. I have kept the numbers and medals for my first 10k, marathon and century. What I still collect and keep are patches, which I love to get. They all go on my "patch hat", an old cycling cap that now weighs about 10 pounds just full of patches and pins.

    Yes, all of ours have gone into a box, along with newspaper clippings and some pages from the local club website... "one of these days" I am going to finish the scrapbooks I have started!

    I save my numbers and route sheets! They are like trophies to me. Glad I'm not alone.

    Yup, I've held onto my race bibs from running 5k's up to my marathon and my cycling numbers as well. I think I am going to make wind chimes out of the medals though, instad of letting them sit in a box.
