FM:Race 2009 Kits in (your chance to order)

ckdake's picture

2009 Kits are here. They're hot. If you ordered something, stop by Outback to pick up the bag with your name on it.

here is another view. We'll be out in full force at the FM:Race ride tonight, and there likely will be a big in-town ride on Saturday.

Did you miss out? Did you just shum yourself because you realized that you really should have gotten something? This is how this is going to work:

Our min kit order with ChampSys is 10 items, not including accessories. You get money to me for what you want based on the prices on this page. Once we hit 10 items, I'll post a 7 day notice that we're about to order for other people to squeeze in, and then the order goes out. If we don't get in enough $ to place an order, you can apply your $ to a 2010 kit but I get the feeling that we'll have enough to do another order. Turnaround time will be a few weeks once the order goes out.

This pattern will repeat itself until the next big kit order (2010 kits), and we make no guarantees that you ordering before then will get you something before then. Currently there is 1 item on the list for round 2. 9 to go!

Kudos

Kudos to the people who are responsible for designing and ordering these. When I put my shorts on, they were super comfy, didn't jam my all-star game at all, favorite pair of shorts by far.

Oh, we are now all in on the dark side of squid-world. Who's the first/second person to shave their legs?

mmm hmm it's weird how it gets you pumped for a race...

Alex's picture

I'm sorry...

Can you clarify your use of "pumped" with regards to shaving your legs? Do you also use shammy butter to get pumped?

I'm-a

gonna skip that there trend. I get all my aerodynamic advantage from my skull anyway.

Brrr

Did anyone get a jacket? The summer jersey's a little thin so I'm thinking of how I should go about this. I can't decide between a jacket and using a baselayer/armwarmers. Any input?

Do y'all know the difference between the Tech Fleece Jacket and the TheroSheild Winter Jacket?

ok so i read the rest of the descriptions

after reading the rest of the descriptions, it sounds like the Tech Fleece Jacket is the way to go. If it gets cold enough for the Winter Jacket I can use one I already have, but I start hibernating that time of year.

I've got a tech fleece jacket

I've got a tech fleece jacket if you want to check it out.

I'll have to do that sometime. Do you think it's thick enough for fall/early spring/cool summer morning? I think I'll still get a baselayer since the wind cuts right through the summer jersey (great for summer, but not for cool weather). Even on a summer morning it may be a little thin.

in my opinion, it's pretty

in my opinion, it's pretty warm, and its got some bulk to it so you're not going to be able to squeeze it in a back pocket if you get too warm on a ride. If by "cool" you mean 45F or so, that is probably a good temp to start leaving it on for the whole ride.

its all about layering

get the wind vest
