Yeah, mine's too small, too. In the catalog I got yesterday, they said to size up. I don't recall that warning when I bought mine, so I hope they'll take returns. I wonder if they used a new vendor, or if this is the way all Terry jerseys are sized.

bleahhhhh. Got my jersey and it's way too small. I laid it out on top of other jerseys and it's at least 4" smaller. Sheesh.
If it's not refundable, I'll offer it for sale here.

Well, I *thought* I had sized up! I guess with the pounds creeping up these last few weeks and months (let's blame it on Lyrica) I didn't account for the sizing! This is way beyond just needing a size up... this is like two sizes too small! I've never ordered any clothing from Terry, so I wasn't sure what to expect.
Anyway, I'm planning to call Terry on Monday (maybe Tuesday since Monday is a holiday) to see what's up with the sizing, and try to exchange.

DH told me my jersey came in....but I can't try it on until Monday evening. I'm in CT now and the jersey's in MD!
What brand is the jersey? Is it a Terry? I ordered a L, the L in Terry's jersey's usually fits me.
Fingers are crossed......
p.s. If it's tight...well, I can always call it "race fit". Yeah....that's it. Race fit!

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!

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.
Just a month to go!
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?

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

My friend Annette and I will be arriving Friday evening with bikes and kayaks at the Days Inn. If anyone is interested we could possibly meet up somewhere for a late dinner. Most likely we'll be in 2 cars since I come from lower slower DE, and Annette will be coming in from Wilmington.
For Saturday, I'd suggest the kayakers all meet for breakfast, and then proceed on to kayaking. There are kayak trails at Blackwater so I think it makes sense to do that, unless someone has a better idea. We can't actually launch at the park though; we have to launch at the 335 Bridge, or Shorter's Wharf. I'll try to get more info on that. The Green Trail is 8 miles RT. The purple trail is 9 miles one way, needs a shuttle, and has large open water passages and is prone to wind - might be early in the season to to that without local knowledge. Don't forget the water will still be pretty chilly in April. Dress for the water, not for the gorgeous sunny day that we will be enjoying.
There are several good restaurants, and a winery in St. Michaels that we might want to consider if we are done kayaking early enough. Also the maritime museum there is nice.
Sunday I think we need to be at the High School for the ride start around 8. The 10 mile riders check in at the HS, but then drive over to the Visitor's Center to start their ride over there. The rest of us start from the HS.
I'll probably wear my Amici Veloci colors.
