Rock City Cycles has again teamed up with MIVA to supply high quality Specialized water bottles as they did in 2015 as well. These are FREE when you volunteer for an event, a small token of appreciation because without volunteers there would be no events held, zero. If you can't wait for race season though and want one NOW, as stated in the last club email we have them on a super low introductory offer of only $5 a piece or 2 for $8, ONLY until the end of February.

Good news MIVA, the online store is open! Instructions on how to order are below:

1 - Click here for MIVA's online shop http://custom.champ-sys.com/teamstore/?Osyogiwy7bURCPB

2 - As you choose the gear you want, drop down menus appear to show the different styles available along with the prices. Here is where you can add reflective piping, and what type of zipper you prefer.

3 - When you go to checkout, you will be prompted to login if you haven't already or SIGN UP (if you have not set up an account)

4 - For questions please use the 'Contact Us' button on the ordering page, or email miva.jason@gmail.com Champsys also has a CHAT icon on the ordering page, utilize this for quick help.

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.
