We had the club clothing launch at the hall last night and it was great to see so many old and new members up at the hall including a squad from Dales Cycles! Thanks to Dales Cycles for bringing along a ton of cake too! It seemed like the folks on both the Intro ride and Barry’s ride had a good time. Thanks to all who came along. For those who couldn’t make it here’s a wee summary of what was mentioned and what happens next:
- You’ll be able to order your clothing online over a period of 3 weeks – I’m aiming to have the online order form in place by Monday.
- Male & female sizing charts will be provided online plus Barry & I have samples of club tops available to try. These samples are only the Cross-country (XC) style – not the baggier, Freeride (FR) style. The sample tops are only in male fits I’m afraid. These samples will be along at any rides we’re on in the next 3 weeks.
- There are combinations of sleeve length, zip style and male & female fits to choose from, these will be listed on the order form.
- Other clothing options shorts, gilets etc are still to be determined – hopefully I will have worked out what these options are to add them to the online form.
- These other clothing options are dependent on the volumes being ordered as it can work out expensive to order low batch quantities. Buffs are usually a popular addition so we’ll probably get a batch of these but we won’t take specific orders for them.
- Pricing is still to be determined as it will depend on the final volume of the order but a club subsidy of £10 on the first top will apply. We’re estimating approx £20 with the subsidy, £30-ish without. Any other discounts or subsidies that are achieved will be passed on to club members.
- Anyone who placed an order last night will have the chance to confirm their order online as part of the ordering process.
- Payment details will be released when we’ve confirmed the pricing but it wil be by BACS and placing an order will be accepted as committing to paying for the top.
- The design you see featured in the photos needs a few tweaks but nothing that will alter it dramatically so it’ll look pretty much as you see it.
