Hello CVCr's So many good things going on! Club Clothing: The orders have all been received. We did not make minimums on a few of the items, so you may find it was taken out of your cart. This is mainly leg and knee warmers and a couple of the color combinations on the arm warmers. We will not be offering the leg warmers in any color. The other warmers, you will need to check what color combo is available if yours was removed from your cart. You WILL get informed, so don't worry. You will get an email in the next few days asking you to pay. At that time, you are welcome to substitute for a different item IF yours was taken off. You will get an email explaining this process from LG, so be on the lookout for this. Please remember, you have committed to buying these clothing items. Please input your payment via credit card to them to complete this ASAP, as the whole club order is withheld until everyone makes their payment on all items from their order carts.

The countdown is on. Today is the last day to order your club jerseys, shorts, bibs, jackets, accessories, etc. Please do so, by clicking the following link to the store. If you are even thinking of it, please order it. We likely will not have another need to open a "store" for at least 4-6 months. When we do, it will likely just cover the basics, without the accessories. Don't miss out on what you want! Here is the link for the on line store again: <https://www.lgpickpayride.com/Conejo_Valley_Cyclist> https://www.lgpickpayride.com/Conejo_Valley_Cyclist Again, you will fill a cart, go to check out, and then create your account. More information coming soon on this. Any questions, please ask! Oh, and if you have any pictures from last year's Cruisin event, please send to me!
