NVRC Summer Kit INFO & ORDERING SCHEDULE

For Summer 2019, we're designing a lighter colored jersey with a light blue top, white logos / accents, bleeding downward to a black waist, to tie into black bibs / shorts.  The design is slimming, cool and visible for summer riding, and available in the following products: jerseys, shorts, arm warmers, shoe covers, caps, gloves.

The four jersey options chosen includes the Peloton Club and Race, with the Genesis fabric, and the Pro Club and Race, with Nova fabric. These are better quality jerseys than what we've ordered in the past but they're a tad more expensive. Obviously, the more ordered, the better price we receive.

Kindly visit North Rim Adventure Sports on Thursday or Sunday to meet with John W. and review what's available and learn the difference between all the different options, AND sizes. Let's try it on!

DON'T WAIT ON THIS ... this process happens fast so act now! Don't get left without the Summer Kit!

A benefit for the Northern Valley Harm Reduction Coalition

Want to experience something new on your bike? This is it!

$10 entry fee, prizes, after party
Event liaison, Rik P. @ rikpape6@icloud.com
Club Forum thread, for discussion here.

Event description:

Spring time gon sprung. Come tour Chico and all the bird and bees and cigarette trees on your greasy steel stead. In the May Day Mayday Alley Cat Race you will ride to different checkpoint locations throughout Chico, some beyond city limits, in the most efficient way you envision. Whomever visits all locations, and gets to the finish line first, wins the prize, and eternal glory(hole). Knowing the streets of Chico will greatly benefit your time and success in attaining eternal glory(hole). 

The race will begin at 3PM, May 4th, from One Mile Pool, with checkpoint lists given out 30 minutes beforehand (at 2:30) so get there early. Entry is $10 cash at the starting line. The race will likely be around 25- 30 miles which means you got this! For some it will be a tooth and nail grind to the finish while for others it will be a leisurely booze cruise.
Picture
All proceeds from the alleycat go to the North Valley Harm Reduction Coalition (see link in comments), so you can feel good supporting their work while slamming beers on bikes. Entry fee also gets you into the afterparty with live music and drink..

All alleycat riders need to have a camera (phone) as some checkpoint locations may require you to take a selfie in front of images, posters, or objects where we are lacking volunteers (sign up to volunteer!). In addition, helmets and costumes are greatly encouraged.
