The Numbers Game Part II

A few follow-up additions to Z's jersey numbers post:

• Jeff N. wrote to recommend using brass safety pins instead of steel, as rusty steel can stain both your jersey and your cloth race number.
• As Z noted you can also use magnets (special magnets designed for this purpose are available)and double sided tape to attach your number, but last year Lloyd L. simply sewed his numbers on.  He used a big stitch and bang the numbers were there for the season.
• Don't think that the finish line camera will read your number if you cover it with a translucent vest or jacket during the early season wet races.  Not wanting to poke holes in my rain coat, on several wet races I've pinned my numbers onto my team wind vest and then pulled that over my translucent rain coat.  It looked dorky but at least I was dry and, more importantly, I was scored.
