Number placement

I want to commend most of you for wonderful number placement at last week's
Banana Belt. Of the 400+ riders only a small handful had unreadable numbers.
This next week calls for rain (sorry Jeff) so please think about how you
plan to place your numbers. Reading numbers under plastic rain coats is
difficult but can be done if it has to, other solutions would be preferred.
There was a small problem in picking the first hotspot for the Pro1/2's as 3
out of the top 6 had vests/jackets covering their numbers. We only placed
the riders that had numbers that could be seen and read. The rule regarding
this is

8.3 - No rider shall cut, fold, mutilate, trim or apply stickers to the race
number, nor shall they sell, trade or give the issued number to another
individual. Penalty or disqualification is at the discretion of the Race
Official.
8.4 - Unreadable numbers may not be placed.

Picking 400 numbers is a tricky job (yes especially if you do not turn on
the camera -sorry again Cat 3s) so your assistance is really welcome.
