Group Rides – Week of April 10

Group Rides this week are a day-by-day thing. Have faith, friends. Spring ALWAYS arrives. If you’re hesitant, please give it another week. We want everyone riding safe and not feeling pressured to ride.

Tuesday Night – Social Ride. We’re giving it a try. Leaving at 6 pm from Ridley’s Cycle Okotoks. Dress warm and be prepared for gravelly shoulders.

Wednesday Morning – Ladies Ride. We are playing it safe and waiting one more week to start riding. However, coffee is second best option. Meeting at 94 Take the Cake at 9 am. At least we can talk about riding.

Thursday Night – questionable weather. Ride undetermined at this point.

Saturday Morning – Endurance Ride. The forecast looks promising. Keep your fingers crossed.

Garneau Store is OPEN!

Post from Walter – Garneau Store is OPEN!
Hello Highwood members!
The Garneau store is now open. It will remain open until April 15th (Midnight). See the link below:
Each member will need to set up their own login info etc.  FYI: You may need to toggle English and French.  For more information and instructions,  please click on the following links:
Styles and selection:  2018 HCCppr
Please note that the prices shown on the store do not include:
1) Order Management Fee
2) GST
This will be added to your orders at checkout time.  Remember that Garneau’s clothing is top notch in both quality and materials, so in other words, you get what you pay for.
Also, I have noticed that the fit kits had different item numbers. The fit kits that were available at Ridley’s started with “FE” in the item numbers. But on the store site the items start with either “8E” or “8M” so please check the item name also. Make sure you are ordering the correct item. Some of the item numbers for the shorts may be slightly different because the fit kits had a different chamois (lower quality).  All of the shorts on the PPR store will have the highest quality chamois (5Motion).
NOTE. . . EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
Please pay close attention to the items your are purchasing because there will be no returns on items.  Make sure you are ordering the correct item and size.  Check and double check.
 
Please note: Some of the jerseys arm banding is slightly different. The “Mondo 2” and the “Equipe Pro” do not have arm banding that goes all the way around the sleeve due to the way these items are cut. The “Slick 2” jersey arm banding appears to go all the way around the arm.  The Neck Buff can’t be done with the fluorescent colors because of the material that the buff is made from, so this item will be as is on the store (black buff with white Highwood).
For the most part the Jerseys and Bibs are correct. For example the jacket on the store does not have ‘HIGHWOOD” on the back. I just put the current images as is on the store site so we could have it open. All of the final sketches will be posted on the website for members to look at once I have finalized them with club executives and Garneau.
Contact me at wnietmann@shaw.ca  or  give me a call on my cell 403-710-0699 and I will send you both the instructions and the pricing.
 
NOTE. . . EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
 
The Official Colors of HIGHWOOD Cycling are BLACK, GREEN, YELLOW.   These are the official club colors that have been registered with the Alberta Bicycle Association (ABA).  These colors must be worn when you are taking part in any “Alberta Bicycle Association (ABA)” event.  
 
The BLACK, GREEN, PINK  version of the HIGHWOOD kit is an “alternative” version and may be worn during club rides and non-sanctioned events.
 
IF anyone thinks they may want to take part in an ABA event or race, you must use the  “Official HCC Kit”.
