Jersey Color Vote
by Sheri L 03 Dec '24

03 Dec '24

Club Members, Our new jersey design has been selected by the club members' majority vote. The club jersey will be shown on the following survey. Now you will need to vote on your color preference. I wish we could offer all choices to meet all the different needs in our club, but we cannot. So again, we will need to vote this one last time. Please select your color choice on the following survey. https://forms.gle/KDD8Hntm347gRxHR6 Thanks all for participating. We had well over 100 votes and I hope to have a large number of votes again for the last part of this process. Let's give this a week so we can keep the progress moving forward. After color decisions are made, our accessories will be designed and we will have some fit dates for try on (sizing) purposes. Thanks for your participation, -- Sheri

Petros accident and meal train
by Sheri L 03 Dec '24

03 Dec '24

Members, As some of you have heard, our Petros was in a bad cycling accident on Monday. He was out on his lunch break doing a ride along PCH where he was hit. It was not a hit and run. The driver called it in and was not cited. He was airlifted and taken to Los Robles, where he is currently in ICU with a traumatic head injury. He is currently on a ventilator. His vitals look good and the doctors are optimistic for his long recovery. Please keep him in your prayers. His family is with him, many visiting from other places. If you would like to help and be part of a meal train, I am sure it would be very helpful to them. Here is a link to start signing up. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C044BABA92FA64-53697671-meal -- Sheri Donna sent this in hopes that it will be helpful to anyone who wants to bring something.
