New Clothing Has Arrived!

Hola Ciclistas,

The first clothing order is finally here, and the new jerseys and shorts look great! A big thanks to Doug for designing the new "CdR" logo that replaces the Sol Cycles logo on front and back. A smaller Sol logo is now on the shoulder and left pocket. Dolores Food Market has joined as a sponsor, on the right pocket (thanks to the Osprey marketing department for helping me create that logo from scratch). The US Women's Cycling Development Program has a really nice, legible logo across the bottom of all 3 pockets. Finally, the Dolores River brewery logo was reversed so that it stands out clearer against the navy of the sleeve. For the shorts, Sol Cycles is still prominent on the thigh, with the new CdR logo added at the bottom of the leg near the elastic. Check the archives of the blog for a mock-up of all the clothing.

New for 2009, we have added CdR gloves and cycling caps. The caps are one-size fits all, and feature the new CdR logo as well as the full Ciclistas del Rio logo. The gloves feature the CdR logo on a navy background, and are available in sizes S - XL. We have 3 extra jerseys (M, L, XL), too. All of these items are available at Sol Cycles. Club member / non-member prices are:
Jersey - $50 / $70
Gloves - $17 / $25
Caps - $10 / $15.
Stop in and check 'em out! We don't have a lot, so get 'em while they last!

If you placed a custom order for clothing, you will have received a separate e-mail from me with your order detail and any amount due. You order is available for pick-up at Sol from Tuesday, June 30. Please give Scott any balance due when you pick up your order (checks made out to Ciclistas del Rio).

I've already had inquiries about the next order, so please let me know what you would like. As soon as we have 10 items, I will place the order, and we'll have it in 60 days. For sure there will be a second order going out around the end of August.

If you see me on the road posing in my new skin-suit, don't laugh too hard...
