Tips for pinning on race numbersYou can even pin one number on each side and then leave them on. Good quality pins will not rust in the wash.

I pin the kids numbers on once and leave them on for the season. Another hint is to get the same number two years in a row then you will have 4 numbers pin-- two onto your warmer jersey and two on your short sleved and not have to worry about them no matter the weather.

Tired of race numbers that flap in the wind stealing precious seconds in your TT? Frustrated that a crease may have cost you a place on the podium? Perhaps this method may work for you.

? The night before your race, slip a pillow the size of your torso into your race jersey.

? Place your race numbers on your jersey in the position and manner prescribed by the OBRA officials, smoothing out creases and folds.

? Pin your race numbers on, pinching up enough fabric as you pin so as to avoid pinning your pillow as well. I use at least eight small brass safety pins per number. If you wish to use pins that match the color of your jersey, that's up to you.

? Gently ROLL your jersey off your pillow. This will avoid stretching and tearing the fabric.

? VOILA! You have a jersey with crease and fold-free numbers that you will be proud to display on race day.
