NEW KIT READY TO ORDER THIS WEDNESDAY!

All


Online orders for the New BG kit will open this Wednesday 29th August 2012.Orders will close midnight Sunday 16th September 2012. You will not be able to order a kit after this date till the next group order, could be next year!

If you are riding regularly with us, you will have probably already gotten an email with the log in and password details. If not, we can get you one, just let someone know on the Sunday ride.


By following these step by step instructions you should have no problems ordering and paying for your order online. Once you have setup your personal CS DIRECT order our system is much like an online shopping cart allowing you to selct items and pay for everything online.

  1. Go to www.champ-sys.com.au
  2. In the top left hand corner click on the ORANGE box – Design and Order Portal Login  
  3. Click on the  green CS Direct  button.
  4. Enter LOGIN and PASSWORD provided by your team administrator and click SIGN IN
  5. Fill in your personal CS DIRECT details and click CREATE ACCOUNT
  6. You will be brought to your personal CS DIRECT page. Find the order you wish to place order and click ORDER NOW
  7. Use the interactive order form to order your items from the extensive range.

You’ll need to know what sizes you want, for each bit of kit. Regarding sizing’s – jerseys, club cut very similar to current kit sizing. I have an XL jersey in the current style and will be getting an XL Club Cut this time as they are nearly identical sizes. As discovered on fit night, race cut jerseys are for grey hounds only - ie VERY F...ING TIGHT! Bib sizing is fairly standard.

SUN RIDE 26.08.2012 - HILLS

HILLS - HALLET COVE

Easy Option - Hallet Cove - Via Unley Road/Goodwood Road/Seacombe Road and Bikeway Return Via Glenelg.

Harder Option - Instead of turning at Seacombe Road, head up Cement Hill past Majors Road and turn right at Penny Barr Road (first right after Majors) this will take you to a train stop where you can cross to catch up with the easy option

Hardest option - Turn left at Majors Road at the top of Cement Hill on to Black Road follow this until Murray's Hill Road (2nd left after the pedestrian lights at the bottom of the second big dipper) Follow to Blackwood and descend via Belair Road.

None of these routes are particularly long or hard, but they avoid the targa adelaide. Good luck to Brian if you are competing or navigating!

Frank has kindly filled out the basics of the calendar, and so I'll get off my butt and fill in some rides. feel free to suggest any routes by sending an email with a map to andrewwilson911@gmail.com, and I'll include them.

Enjoy

NEW KIT UPDATE

Here's the latest update on the new kit. Its an evolution of the last one based on a design direction from our last AGM. There are a few small changes underway - mostly to change the ChampSys logo colour on the jersey.

Stay tuned - sizing night and instructions on how to order are coming soon.

I've paid our deposit to get things moving (no idea yet how I get this back) and there will be online ordering direct through the manufacturer using an on-line portal which will be open for a few weeks (once we establish it).

When the portal closes, they make the gear (takes 8 weeks) and then it will be delivered in bulk to me for distribution.

Hope you guys like the kit as much as those of us that have helped design it do.
