SRC Kit Store is Open!!! Buy Your Jerseys!

Hello SRC,

The day has come! After a whole lot of work by Brandon to get Eliel’s designs correct (and super-awesome), the store is now open for you to make your purchases.

Before you do, please note that there are minimum numbers of items that need to be met or the club will have to make up the difference and buy items. I sent out a survey a while back to get a feel for who wanted what and how many. Based on that we selected which items would be in the store (sorry, the knee warmers didn’t make it). For example, the survey showed that we wanted 9 arm coolers but there is a minimum of 10. That means that if everyone who said they would buy one actually bought one, the club will still have to buy an extra to make up the 10. If people change their minds and only 1 person orders one we will be forced to buy 9. Hopefully if you said you would buy something, please buy it. Don’t worry about bibs and jerseys — we will easily make those minimums. I’m mostly worried about jackets, vests, caps, warmers/coolers, etc.

Here is the URL to our store: https://custom.elielcycling.com/collections/steiner-ranch-cycling Note that we will close the store on August 18 (1 week) after which no more purchases can be made with this order.

This stuff looks so freakin awesome! I hope you all enjoy the hard work Brandon put into this and load up. They say to expect 8 weeks for delivery but we might be able to get it quicker if they can prioritize us.

Here are the items, prices, minimums, and survey results for those that care:

Men’s Rincon Jersey $86
Men’s Laguna Seca Bib Shorts $132
Women’s Rincon Jersey $86

This weekend’s rides: Down Redbud! Red Horn!

SRC,

Our RAGBRAI group had a blast last week and are ready to get back into regular riding with everyone. Saturday we will ride down Redbud in a 57 miles reverse dam loop varient (https://www.strava.com/routes/6005513). As always, join us for discounted burgers and beer at Lakeside after the ride!

Sunday is our usual Coffee Shop ride to Red Horn (https://www.strava.com/routes/4736117). It is 50 miles and is at a more relaxed social pace than our Saturday rides, but we typically finish with a 17mph average speed overall. While we make great efforts to keep the group together, this is NOT a no drop ride. If you cannot hang with the group after repeated regrouping, you may get dropped. Red Horn is 20 miles away and is where we stop for coffee, breakfast tacos, pastries, and socializing before finishing the rest of the ride.

Both rides leave from Cups & Cones at 7:30 am. Come early on Saturdays to grab some coffee, kolaches, and donuts!

See you soon!
Thomas
