Official Team Photo Day!
Mark your calendars, the official Fun Sport Bike Cycling Team photo will be taken on Sunday, February 24th at 9am at the location of our title sponsor, Fun Sport Bikes in Modesto. We’ve taken the race calendar into consideration and tried to pick a day and give enough notice so that we have a large turnout. We are doing it early in the day because the parking fills up in front of the shop later in the afternoon. Please arrive on time.
A photo of the newly formed FSB Race Squad and head shots for the website will be taken on this day as well. In addition, a photo of the FSB Women’s Development Squad will be taken, which will eliminate the need for a separate photo shoot like we did last year. Wear the NEW kit! If you are new, you’ll need to borrow one as we’ve done in past years. We don’t want a mix of old and new kits.
The Sunday shop ride that is usually scheduled for 2:30 will be moved, and will depart from the shop after the photo shoot is complete. If the route changes for this day, Joey will post a revised route prior to the ride.
New February Membership Meeting Date
The February FSB General Membership Meeting has been moved to a new date – Thursday, February 21st. It will be held in Modesto at Surla’s Restaurant, one of the club’s awesome sponsors!
Honorary Special Guest Speaker, Alison Tetrick member of the 2013 Exergy Twenty 16 Professional Women’s Cycling Team will be at Surla’s to talk about her life and training as a pro cycling athlete. Afterwards there will be Q&A and photo sessions, so make sure to have a camera handy.
The banquet room will only be able to accommodate 25-30 people. After that it will be standing room only. The meeting will begin promptly at 6:00pm, but we encourage FSB members to come early for best seats. Salad and appetizers will be available for purchase. Thanks and hope to see you there!
Location: 431 12th Street, Modesto. 209-550-5555
Date: Thursday, February 21.
Time: 6:00p.m.
Used Cycling Gear Drive
The FSB Cycling Team will be participating in a used cycling gear drive through February 1, 2013 to help benefit the Nor Cal High School MTB League (http://www.norcalmtb.org/). We are accepting donations of used cycling gear, road and mountain: old kits, clothing, helmets, shoes, and bike parts. The Nor Cal MTB League is based in Petaluma but have teams all over Northern CA. They expect to see a 35% growth in the league this year and can really put used gear to good use. There are a high number of kids on scholarship who are not financially able to properly outfit themselves. Items can be dropped off at the Wednesday Night Crit practice (check the calendar page for info) or a drop off can be arranged by sending a message using the contact form on this site. Thanks for your help!
1st Annual Christmas Light Night Ride
presented by Romeo Medical Clinic
With a full schedule of racing just around the corner, and the rush of the holidays upon us, we thought it would be fun to slow things down a bit and put together a fun ride that celebrates the season and focuses on that pure joy we get when we ride our bikes. In addition to encouraging the development of advanced skills and fitness needed for competition and racing among club members, it is also part of the club’s mission statement to encourage cycling as a sport for fitness, health and enjoyment within the community.
DATE: Thursday, December 13, 2012
TIME: 6:30pm
WHERE: Meet at the Tower Health and Wellness Center, located at 1801 Colorado Ave. Turlock, CA. Park in the back lot (behind the building) and we’ll leave from there.
WHAT: This will be a fun, casual, social ride for CdV members and their families (spouses, kids, etc). We’d love to see our sponsors and their families come out too. Road bikes, mountain bikes, cross bikes…all are welcome! I think we may even have a bike trailer or two being towed by club members. We will meander through the streets of Turlock and enjoy the festive lights around town. This is not a ride about miles and speed…it is about family, friends, celebrating the season, and enjoying the ride. Remember, this is a night ride (which are a lot of fun), so don’t forget your lights! Also, since there will be kids on the ride, some of us will be adding a few extra festive touches to our bikes and attire to make it more memorable. This ride is all about healthy fun! Don’t forget to wear your kits too.
SOMETHING EXTRA: After the ride, Romeo Medical Clinic, one of our generous sponsors, will be providing hot cocoa and treats in the RMC Work Wellness office located in Suite 130.
ROUTE: A few of the CdV women rode last night and scouted possible routes. Karin will be working out the final one, which will be available before next week.
Kit Fitting This Saturday, October 27th
This Saturday, October 27 is the Team’s Kit Fitting Event. This event is done as a courtesy for team members who are not sure of their sizing. Voler has made changes to the material and padding so it would be beneficial for you to make it to one of the fittings. We will have additional dates and times if you are unable to make the Saturday fitting.
DATES:
- Saturday, October 27 from 8:00 – 11:00 a.m. Club ride to follow at 11:30 a.m.
- Monday, October 29 from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. (make-up fitting)
- Thursday, November 1 from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. (make-up fitting)
LOCATION (for all fittings):
- Gerling Applied Engineering, Inc.(1064 Woodland Ave. Suite U, Modesto)
If you’re not able to make the fittings, you can use the Voler sizing chart as a guide – http://www.voler.com/help/#HelpSizingCharts.
IMPORTANT – NOVEMBER 11 DEADLINE!
It is the responsibility of each member to have their application, check (for kit & dues), and sizes to the club no later than November 11. Please note this means in our possession, not in the mail. If we don’t receive it by the 11th, you’ll not be included in the kit order.
If you will not be attending the fitting, but will be dropping off or mailing in your application along with your check and sizes, remember it is very important to include whether you want a Race Cut or Club Cut jersey and also whether you want Bibs or Shorts. The process this year will be the same as last year.
ORDERING ADDITIONAL ITEMS
Each member is required to purchase a minimum of one team kit in addition to their $20 membership dues. The club will place the group order which will include EVERYONE’S (members who have completed application and submitted their check and sizes) required kit. All members will then receive the link to the Voler online ordering system. Members then have until midnight of November 12 to log on and order any ADDITIONAL kits and accessories. Please remember this online system is for any and all ADDITIONAL kits and accessories.
