Gears Girls Update - Week of June 20th

Hey Girls.
 
Another great week of riding!
 
All rides are a go this week unless of course there are rain cancellations - as usual, check the blog http://gearsgirls.blogspot.com for updates.
 
A couple things to note and consider:
 
Gears Girls Jerseys and Jackets:
 
There are still a few remaining jerseys and jackets that need to be picked up from Gears. Drop by Gears anytime during business hours to pick your clothing up.
 
Gears Girls Sleeveless Jerseys:
Per my email end of last week, Gears Girls sleeveless jerseys are available for purchase for $60 including HST. Fit will be comparable to the new Gears Girls jerseys. Available sizes are XXS through to XL. The sleeveless jerseys are great - same fabric and design as the new Gears Girls jerseys and three pockets in the back...something you don't always find on women's sleeveless jerseys! Orders and payment must be received no later than end of day Friday, June 24th. I apologize for the quick time frame but in order to get the jerseys back to us by mid-July we need to place the order quickly. See attached for a jpg of the jersey as well as the order form. How to pay: bring your completed order form and payment in to Gears before end of day Friday, June 24th OR if you are unable to get into Gears by the 24th, you can send me an online bank transfer using this email address: m.crosby@sympatico.ca. Please make the answer to the security question gearsgirls. Please indicate in the message section your full name and size.
 
Tour de Waterloo:
I know that a number of you are thinking about doing the Tour de Waterloo this weekend: http://www.tourdewaterloo.com/. Not sure how many or who will be there but if you're interested, post something to the Gears Girls FB page to see if you can hook up with other GG members. Sounds like a great, hilly route! I won't be there but it sounds like there could be a good sized group of girls riding.
 
Canadian Road Nationals:
We're fortunate to have the Canadian Road Championships in our own backyard this year - events will be taking place in Burlington, Georgetown and Waterdown from June 23rd through to July 3rd...some cool opportunities to watch some really challenging races. Clara Hughes will be racing...can't wait to see a Canadian icon in action! Here's a link to the schedule of events: http://www.midweekclub.ca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=87&Itemid=18. Hope you can make it out to watch a couple of the races!
 
See you guys out on the road. Drop me a line if you have any questions.
