KIT ORDERS UPDATE (EXTENDED CLOSE DATE) - CYCLE THE BEND

Merry Christmas All!!!

Now its time for less eating and more riding...

KIT ORDERS UPDATE

Kit orders have been coming along nicely, however many of you got caught in the same pre-Christmas craziness as me, and have had trouble getting in to try the sample kit on, or just get around to ordering.

Given this, we have extended the close date for orders, to be post TDU.

Orders will now close at 5.00pm on Monday 28 January 2019.

Order process remains as set out in the previous posts. If anyone wants to catch me during the holidays to try the kit on, give me a call or text on 0417 828 979 or message me via the BG Facebook group.

Just some tips in terms of sizing, as has been described, the kit sits between the ChampSys Club and Race cuts in terms of its form.

The nicks are firm, but compliant, and will probably match you CS size (or perhaps 1 size up). The jersey is moderately form fitting, but has excellent length, so there isn't a need to size up just to make sure it is long enough. Again, your CS size (or perhaps one size up) will be pretty close.

Check out the size chart below for reference.

CYCLE THE BEND

The Bend Motorsport Park is having a 'Cycle the Bend' track session this Friday, 28 December 2018, sign-on at 9.30am, session commencing 10.00am to 12.00pm.

It will be pretty hot, but I'm keen to get a look at the track before doing Revolve 24 raising money for JDRF in March.

I'm heading up, and have two seats and two spots on the bike rack for anyone who wishes to come. Call/text if you want to come with me.

You need to register here (costs $10.40):

BG Christmas & New Years Riding

All

Christmas and New Years eve fall on Mondays this year which has made the next two Sundays ride guides a bit fuzzy. Hence I thought I would get in early and get the next two Sunday rides posted as I know what I am like and will likely choose egg-nog (its like getting smashed on icecream) over updating the blog.

Sunday 23rd of December -Beach Ride Anzac Hwy - Outer Harbor

• Meet in the City at 7:30 am

Sunday 30th of December -Beach Ride Hallett Cove

As of today you have 32 training days until the TDU ride. To inspire you to work off that Christmas cheer I have posted the final for 2018.

Skin-suits the great leveler - everyone looks crap!!

BG Christmas Party

This Sunday is the Bastardi Gruppetto Christmas celebration. It will be a beach ride finishing at Glenelg.

Graeme and Christine have kindly offered to host the club at their home. Partners and Family are formally invited. As they don’t ride with us on Sundays it will be a good opportunity for them to meet, socialise and put names to faces.

• We can head over to the Watermark and buy a Slab for those who would like a Beer. 

As this is being catered by Graeme can you please let me know by Saturday the 15th if you are attending and how many people. Just post a response to this blog entry.

BG X KIT - ORDER DETAILS

Hi All

Massive Kudos goes to Steve Balmer and Gavin Hornibrook for their amazing work on the BG 10th Anniversary kit.

It's now ready to roll!!!

The kit is on sale as a jersey and knicks combination for $150.00.

This order is not coming from Champion System, so we are doing the order the old fashioned way, where you need to confirm your order, pay your money and we'll then pay Gavin who will manage the production of the order.

This kit is absolutely fantastic quality for the price, and purchasing it should be considered a one time only opportunity. Don't be missing out.

Orders close at 5.00 pm on Monday 7 January 2019.

So, here is how it works:

1. Michael R has a large size jersey and knicks at his work (33 Carrington Street in the City) - call or text Michael on 0417 828 979 to arrange a time to drop in and try them on - then work our your sizing in reference to the large.
2. Confirm your order quantity to Michael by email (call or text to get the address if you don't have it).
3. Michael will provide details for payment (bank transfer) when you confirm your order quantity.
4. Make payment by 5.00pm on Monday 7 January 2019.
5. The final paid orders will be forwarded to Gavin on 8 January 2019 and he'll get them in production.
6. Michael R will distribute the kit once it arrives, just like our CS orders.

We do have some volume requirements to get to this pricing, so it would be great if people could get their orders in ASAP so that we know the likely volumes. Who knows, if enough people order enough kit, Santa may even decide BG has been collectively nice.

And, before someone asks, here is the front and back of the kit on a mannequin so you can see the whole thing.
