Ride Saturday, May 25

in ,

Saturday, we’ll leave Rosemount at 08:00 and ride to Prior Lake, stopping at Edelweiss Bakery, before returning to Starbucks. We will ride the 55-mile route counter clockwise. The river bottoms are probably still under water, and the recent rain isn’t helping, so we’ll follow the alternate route, unless someone can confirm that Blackdog Road is open. The weather forecast is looking good for Saturday, with moderate winds from the west, and temps from 60 to 70 degrees.

Ride Sunday, March 31

in ,

Let's take advantage of (better) weather forecast for Sunday and ride at 13:00 (1 PM) that afternoon, instead of Saturday. We will follow the Orchard Lake route counter clockwise. The full route is 45 miles, and you can shorten that by ten miles by returning to Rosemount via Hwy 3. We’ll make a pit stop at Orchard Lake, even though the rest rooms will probably be closed.

Rides Sat, Sun, April 21–22

in ,

It has been three weeks since our last outdoor ride, and I bet you're as frustrated as I am about this spring weather. To try to make up for lost time, I'm planning to do two rides this weekend. Neither ride will be fast or furious, until the end, because most of us have spring legs and we need to keep everyone together and having fun. There's both a morning and an afternoon ride, so hopefully you can make it to one or both of them.

Club Kit Order Update

in

Today, I received a report of our club's orders from Garneau and I'm happy to report that we exceeded the minimums for all items and everyone has paid for the items they selected during the pre-order period. Thank you for your participation and attentiveness throughout the ordering process. Garneau received orders from 35 people for a total of 98 items. Some of you ordered both men's and women's items and others order multiple items. I think you all appreciated how our sponsor dollars helped cut the prices. In fact, you took full advantage and used all of the available funds and then some.

It's Time to Pre-Order 2018 Club Gear

Garneau's store for RCC will re-open soon. We are setting the final pricing before we open the store again around February 6.

There was a two-step ordering process, so we can estimate interest and final pricing:

  1. Select the items that you plan to purchase, and check out.
  2. About a week later you will return to the store to see the final pricing and pay for those items.

New Club Kit is Coming

in

During the off-season, we've been working with Grand Performance and Louis Garneau to design and prepare a new club kit for you and we are ready to share the result. As you can see, we kept the same four colors and a few of the design elements from the previous kit. Overall, the new design is cleaner, brighter, and — featured prominently on the front and back of the jersey and vest — has the same new club logo as our web site.
