NEW CLUB NAME AND CLOTHING DESIGN CONTESTS As many of you are aware, there are presently two contests underway to select name and jersey design for our new club. Bear in mind that the club needs to attract membership from all of Vancouver Island, so the name should indicate this. When submitting designs for the uniform, consider the colours of nater, the varying blues and greys of the sea and sky and the greens, browns yellows and oranges of the trees and mountains. To help you with the jersey and shorts designs, here and here are templates.
All submissions must be recieved by December 31st. of this year. The prize for the winning name will be a one year membership in the new club, including Cycling BC membership and the prize for the winning clothing design will be a free jersey and shorts in the new club colours.

We are considering asking riders to demonstrate alternative positions to the typical aero pose, both on two and on one wheel. Time bonuses may be awarded for innovativeness and level of skill.Go here for a good example of what we may be looking for>
