What if we change
"SERIOUSLY
BIG
RIDES"

to
"GO BIG
or
GO HOME"?

Please see my reply to the Yellow Jersey header (which Chuck later copied as a reply below). I think you should simply get rid of both of these less-than-dignified remarks but otherwise leave the pockets as they are.

How about we just drop this lettering. It's always seemed a bit off-putting to me.

I personally like the 'Seriously Big Rides'.
I really don't like 'Go Big or Go Home'.

OK, Since you asked ...
Silly comments like: "Make mine a double" and "Seriously Big Rides" have always struck me as, well, disrespectful of the achievement. For many, many riders, earning at CTC jersey will be the hallmark of their athletic career and I think the jersey should reflect that the prestige that comes with the accomplishment. I wouldn't change anything other than removing those two comments.

How about "Extremely Challenging Rides"?

"Go big or go home" doesn't sound right to me. While I'm proud of having finished the CTC the past couple years, I do not wish to taunt those who don't agree with my definition of "fun" and stick to normal rides :) I'd like to see less phrase'age on the back pockets. Its a little busy as it is on the yellow jersey.

Instead of "Seriously Big Rides", how about just
"Extreme Rides" or
"Extreme Endurance Events".

Something like that.

I believe that we (or I) go through many different emotions while on the Double Centuries. Humor, is one emotion that we use. I think that " make mine a double " and " Serious Big Rides" is Humorous and why I purchased the Yellow Jersy.

On the Back Pocket, we'll change
"SERIOUSLY
BIG
RIDES"
to
"EXTREME
ENDURANCE
EVENTS"

Hi Chuck,

I like "Make it a double" and "seriously LONG rides", and I agree with Med, they are funny. We don't want to make the double century experience about beating anyone, per se.

Thanks,

Alex
