Thursday Night Rides, Jerseys and Cyclocross

Please note that next week’s ride has been moved from Wednesday night to Thursday night, leaving at 18:00 from the SW Corner of the Westside Church Parking lot (3939 69 Street SW).  Shack, Lewis, Gabe and I had a great ride last night, and after a long and intense discussion at the Taproom, agreed we should keep the ride on Thursdays as long as the weather permits.

For those of you who haven’t ordered your jerseys yet, please do so before next Wednesday.

Also, for those with any interest in cyclocross, there is a fun race series running on Tuesday nights that you might want to check out at http://midweekmayhem.wordpress.com/.  If you have no idea what cyclocross is, go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclo-cross.

Best regards,

Group Ride this Thursday and next Wednesday

I figure no one will be around for the long weekend, including me, so for anyone interested, there will be a group ride leaving at 18:00 on Thursday night from the SW Corner of the Westside Church Parking lot (3939 69 Street SW).  We'll find some fun places to ride around Springbank and then go to the brewery to rehydrate around 8:00'ish.  The following week there will be a group ride on Wednesday night again at 18:00 (because I can't ride Thursday).  After that we'll likely stick to Thursdays, although I welcome feedback on what days work best for people, and what time.  Weekend group rides will start again next weekend, and we'll try to keep riding until the weather sucks.

See you Thursday,

Mike

Draughters Jerseys

Yeah!!!   We are finally ready to order jerseys.  Just in time for cyclocross season and/or Christmas.

Attached please find the design of the jersey.  The only small change is that we are working on a way to recognize that these are the jerseys of the founding riders of the Draughters, probably with something on the sleeve, so you won't want to miss out on these bad boys.

The final cost per jersey will depend on the number of jerseys, but assuming we order at least 9, will be no more than $80 each.  Features of the jerseys include:

High quality technical Q1400 fabric

3 back pockets (not 1 or 2, but 3)

19" hidden zipper (but not so hidden that you can't find it to unzip your jersey)

Classic fit, Pro Fit, Men's & Women's cut

Full sublimation printing

The sizing charts are available here:  http://www.bikeatac.com/ordering/sizing.htm

If you would like to buy a jersey, please e-mail Mike Shackleton at mikes@quadrantaccounting.ca, and let him know the quantity, fit type, and size you want.  Please get your orders to Mike by next Wednesday, 05 September.  This is so important I've even clicked on the high priority icon above.  Mike will let you know how to pay in due course.  I've included everyone's e-mail addresses on this in case Mike wants to wade in or send a reminder later.

Thanks,

Mike

Draughters - 15 August WNRS Time Trial

We are now confirmed as the hosts for the 15 August WNRS Time Trial in Springbank.  I am talking to Wild Rose to set something up at the Brewery.  I think I have convinced Kari to race that night (and it is not too late for the rest of you), and to date Shack has volunteered and Kari might get a couple of her daughters to come out.  We could still use a couple of more volunteers, so if you are interested, please let me know.  Thanks and I hope everyone is having a great summer and getting lots of riding in.
