Please fill out this easy survey to help MIVA in scheduling for 2016, provide all the feedback you can! Note, this is a 100% anonymous survey.  

Thank you!

Champsys sample gear has arrived and is at Rock City Cycles for 2 weeks! Head on in and try on a few pieces to determine your size. They did the best they could to put an assortment of sizes but inevitably there will be some missing, hopefully it will still assist in your gear size choice! The final gear layouts are in the works with final revisions being made, stay tuned for another post on that VERY soon.

MIVA is again utilizing the ChampSys online store as we did in 2015. We'll let you know when it is up and running...for now, go try on some gear, write it down, browse the custom store and read up on the different styles available.  If there is a cycling item you'd like us to apply our design to, let us know and we'll do our best to get it up in the store (ie: cycling caps)

We'll be setting up proofs for:

• Short sleeve jerseys
• Long sleeve jerseys
• Jackets
• Shorts
• Bib shorts
• Arm warmers
• Leg warmers
• Skinsuit
• Socks

Thank you to RCC for hosting the samples for MIVA to try on!

**Edit** Note from ChampSys Rep:

Just as a reminder, we tried our best to get you what you requested based on our present available inventory. (**orange tags are Womens sizes)

 For other sizes that are not included in your sample kit, we suggest using our Online Sizing chartsor ask for related size charts to be sent. You can also compare your existing item with the measurements of our product to get a good sense of comparison. We have found that this is fairly accurate for our clients. If you have more specific concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

 FYI, I highly recommend if any of your teammates find themselves in-between measurements - always go one size up! (Definitely for vests & jackets for width, since they are worn over top)

Samples will be available in early January for sizing, orders will all go in January 15th.  This will have the gear on everyones backs by mid to late Feb! A few small revisions left, and expect to see a design for the jacket,  long sleeve jersey, arm warmers, and leg warmers, all coming soon.

Merry Christmas MIVA! A few short things to note:

• MIVA Spins @ The Swet Haus return January 7th
• Watch your inboxes on Boxing Day as the MIVA 2016 kit is coming at you (check spam if you don't see it)
• Early January we'll have ChampSys samples in for sizing.
• Mid January we'll submit our gear order
• Gear should arrive by end of February
• A end of year survey will be coming out soon as well, we love your feedback

Enjoy your time with family and friends everyone, thanks for making 2015 so awesome.
