Clothing order

New clothing order anytime soon?

Just my two cents but.............it is time for a clothing overhaul. I recommend a NCCC kit redo. Unfortunately, I have no artistic creativity and was lucky to pass finger painting in kindergarden so I cannot take up the cause. But I do know we have a very, very artistic (Jeff), creative (Jeff) long rider that would be the perfect person (Jeff) to design a new kit.

Anyone wanna guess who that person is?

Anyone agree it's time for change?

Yes, I totally agree with the nomination of Jeff.  He would be perfect for redesigning our new kit. Sean, you came up with a great idea!
Ursula

Can we get the pink kits back please?

Look I'll be out of commission for a while but I don't need to see Nerius and Frank both in pink kits, sounds very disturbing. I'm all for the cause and comfortable in a nice power pink tie but I don't know about wearing pink Lycra 

Just say'n

If Jeff is the designer we may end up with 101 Dalmation "spots" or  3D bike parts hanging from every which way ...which may be esthetically pleasing but not so comfy after 50 or so miles. Some people may enjoy the added hardware but probably just a handfull. The other problem is if any of the artsy bike parts fell off the outfits, Anthony would run over it and crash. ....I like the idea of PINK as long as it compliments La Marader.


My two cents- 2013 redesign would be nice but I would settle for better quality bib shorts (even if they were pink)....

Listen....lycra is bad enough for an all American male to wear in public....lets reserve the pink kits for girls, Frank and the Pink Marauder. But I do think Evelyn is on to something, creating wearable bike parts. Imagine for a moment how practical this will be for Anthony as he pops spokes like pain killers he could just remove one from his wearable bike parts jersey and we would be on our way.

Jeff.......any comments on your nomination for the art committee chair?

Ha, I appreciate the vote of artistic confidence and the very humorous banter back and forth. For the record I think pink is a fine color. In fact I'll by painting with it on my next project, and it dose involve bikes. That should keep you all guessing.
Sean, we can review you design ideas tomorrow on the ride. See you at 8.

Evelyn is so right, any design I might make would have king of the mountain Dalmation "spots". Good night...

You can have mine.  After the mean comments from Ursula, Evelyn and Sean last week, I won't wear it again.  I was almost hit by a car as I wiped away the tears on my ride home.

Frank we all know where u were riding back from
....
Shawn I'm thinking maybe the Club shirt u were wearing today with some peddle pushers might work...You may want to contact LuLuleamon as  a potential sponsor... I know they make running skirts,not sure about cycling ....
I like the better padding, fit & design for shorts that Skidding Anthony brought up.Smart

Eventually I'd like to do 400 mile road events every weekend. With enough padding chamie and spandex there's  no logical reason this couldn't be done.... Maybe memory foam?

Hey all of you long riders. Lou here. Membership and clothing guy.
I am getting quite a few queries for clothing from the regular group as well. So I guess it's time to contact Voler and see what we can do.
Minimums are 15 pieces as always. Prices may change (upwards no doubt). But we should get a discount for ordering during the off-season.
I am also receiving requests for the pink kit. This will be a seperate order requiring the 15 piece minimum as well. A hotter pink was suggested in place of the blue and fading to white just like we have now. I'll leave that up to those of you that want that kit. But I will have to eventually make the final color call. So talk amongst yourselves and give me something to work with. I'll post the pink kit color selection via email blast. We will have an opportunity to change the color up to a certain point. I believe that Dolores Wells was driving the pink kit before. Maybe.......

We do not have sponsors other than Voler and Mac-Case (our kit designer). A sponsorless kit, although a bit more expensive, seems to be what most of you like. It is kind of a clean look.

New design? I'll send out an email blast and try to get a consensus.
So, if you are not a club member, you probably won't receive the email blast. Tell your friends. Hint. Hint. Look for it soon.

Questions??? Go ahead ask me.
More to come.
