Where has this bib pinner gone wrong? Leave a corrective comment if you have one.

He needs more pins. The bib will flap around.

Terrible, and very unPRO.

1. Never, ever cover up your sponsors' logos. They're the folks paying you the big bucks to advertise their gear.

2. Sloppy, loose pin job. Like BB said, the bib will flap around waste energy.

3. Having the bib there is useless for identifying the rider as he/she crosses the finish line. The cameras and judges are always at one side, and with the big in the middle of the back like that, they can't see it.

I bet that dude doesn't even shave his legs.

Great insights as usual DMO. How's it going out there?

Not bad. I just arrived in Tucson,
and it's nice to be able to go outdoors without a jacket. No bike, unfortunately, but I managed to get an hour in on the fitness cycle in the hotel. The highlight for me so far has been seeing the saguaro cacti around here. I'd always thought you had to go out to the desert to see them, but they seem to be all over the place. With any luck I'll spot a roadrunner as well.

DMO, I used to live out there. Are you staying near the U? I don't know if these places are still there but Gentle Ben's was a nice hang out near campus. Bob Dobb's was another. the Eldorado had huge burritos. Pat's chili dogs was killer also. If can get over the Tucson mountains do it and then you will really see saguaro's. The Sonora Desert Museum is over there and it is very cool. Pima Air Museum is also very cool. Right in the middle of the airplane bone-yard. A fun drive to take is the Santa Catalina HWY up Mt. Lemmon. Very scary.

I agree with DMO and cody.
