Quick update for the 2016 Gear! Proofs are in (see below). They are being uploaded to Champsys as we speak.

The online store is NOT open yet, it'll be a few days but you'll know the second that it is. In the meantime you can browse Champsys products to see what style jersey you might like, which shorts/bibs you prefer, etc.

The sizing samples ARE still at Rock City Cycles, until this coming Friday (Jan 22). Try to get in there to try on or see the different samples they've provided us with.

SIZING: some of you ordered kit last year, so you can chime in on Facebook to help others. In general, SIZE UP.

Here is their sizing chart: http://champ-sys.ca/custom/cycling/size-chart/

Here is a blog post review on some ChampSys gear: http://www.danielcassidyracing.com/razor-bib-short--razor-lite-cycling-jersey.html

Here is a word from our ChampSys rep: "For other sizes that are not included in your sample kit, we suggest using our Online Sizing charts or 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. 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)"

Last night we held our first board meeting of the new year at White Sails Brewing one of our new club sponsors for 2016. We went over a lot of planning in our short "one hour" meeting and have some fun events planned for this year. Without giving away too much, we do want to get a couple of quick reminders out

You can renew and pay for your 2016 membership online through web scorer and all members who do so before Feb 1st will receive a free pair of name decals for your bike. Sign up here

Also the new club gear design is just about finalized and we will have the online store opening up soon.  Don't forget to swing by Rock City Cycles and check out the fit kit.  You can also browse the champsys custom store to get an idea of what kit you'll want to order when our own store goes live.

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.
