Love this year’s shirt, too bad I was out of town.

I wish I could join. I’ll be reporting on my commute to work instead.

Oops. Too late already.

They gave us last year’s shirt in the goodie bag this year, so potentially next year you could still get it.

Wait–what? I didn’t get last year’s shirt this year! Did I get the wrong goodie bag? Or somethin’?

They probably put their remaining shirts from last year into the goodie bags. Mine had the one from last year, and I picked up this year’s after finishing the ride.

We checked in just before the ride started, so we must have been too late for the extra shirt opportunity. I do already have one from last year, but it looks pretty tired!

So, this is more of a missed connection of sorts…

Not only did I lose some pride and skin off my knee on the ride last Saturday, but I lost my much beloved yellow jacket. It’s a Pearl Izumi women’s jacket, in classic screaming yellow. It was bungeed to my rack at the start in Crystal City, but wasn’t on the bike when we hit Columbia Pike. It could very well have fallen off, but the guy riding my wheel didn’t see it come off. (OK, he’s 10 years old, but still, I think it would have been noticed in the crowd.) It could have been taken by mistake, those things are ubiquitous. It could have been liberated somehow.

Anyway, anyone find/take/end up with a yellow jacket they didn’t start out with?
