Blue jerseys?

Post by Mick F »

Drove to Tavistock and back this morning - Sunday 12th Sept. On the road 10:30 heading east and 11:30 returning.
Saw six or maybe seven chaps on road bikes cycling east Cornwall into Devon - two or three on the way to Tavy, and four or so when we were coming back later. Dunno how many they may have been meanwhile or since.

The thing is, they were ALL in blue tops and ALL heading towards Tavistock from Cornwall. Some tops were slightly different to others, and all had a logo or something, but we couldn't read them. All, and every single one, had a blue top.

What's going on?

I live near a busy seafront and regularly see groups wearing similar* shirts. They are usually doing a sponsored something or other. Spotted 2 different types yesterday.

Also sometimes see one or two wearing shirts from an old sponsored event.

* When I say similar shirts, I probably mean identical ones but very varied bodies filling them.

Maybe. Possibly, the final two we saw when we were dropping down into the valley back home.
Just here, and they were riding up the hill towards us.

Some were much paler than that though.

That's not the leader's Jersey that's the ToB points jersey. The leader's one is darker blue

Spot on.
Thank you.
Maybe they were on sale at a venue during the TOB ride?
