Club Clthing - Stay Tuned!
by Adam Winer 24 Aug '14

24 Aug '14

Over the past few months I have been in contact with many of you in regards to club clothing. We are preparing a club clothing order that will be placed shortly with an anticipated delivery date in October. Pricing is TBD, however, I am attempting to keep pricing the same low price as it has been in the past. Waiting for updated information from our Manufacture Canari. The following items will again be available to current club members: * CVC short sleeve / full zipper jerseys (both mens and womens / club and euro cut available) * CVC shorts and bib shorts (womens cuts will be the non bib version. If you are interested in womens bibs, please contact me quickly.) * CVC wind jackets with zip off sleeves to convert to a wind vest (unisex) * CVC logo white SPF30 arm warmers * CVC skullcaps * CVC socks (both black and white varieties) I also have been asked about sleeveless jerseys, bib and non bib knickers. If you have any interest in sleeveless jerseys or bib and non bib knickers, please contact me immediately so we can attempt to revive these items on our order. ------- Adam Winer Conejo Valley Cyclists adam(a)cvcbike.org
