Our friends at BikeReg have graciously waived all club membership service fees for this year.

More info about the clothing is available at www.voler.com

Voler's new online ordering system and a great service philosophy offer the club a number of benefits:

1. There are no minimum orders! In the past we have run into problems with skin suits and tri gear. This year, even if you are the only person to order an item, no problem.

2. Voler offers BOTH a race cut and a club cut jerseys. The club is not locked into choosing one or the other as in the past, which always made some people unhappy. (Samples of both cuts are in all sizes men's and women's and Northampton Bike, see below)

3. All orders are placed online through Voler with no service fees.

4. Based on our past history and club size, Voler has extended us 100+ item pricing on ALL items. This is a substantial savings. Our rates will be similar to last year's for what appear to be higher quality garments.

5. Clothes are made in the U.S. for trouble-free shipping, no customs, delays.

6. Great assortment of clothing styles and accessory gear.

5. Clothes will be shipped to Northampton Bicycle already individually packaged, labeled and ready for pick up. This means you can get your stuff sooner and club volunteers do not need to waste time sorting through everything.

Sizing samples are currently at Northampton Bicycle on Pleasant St. Northampton, but only until 2/8. There are men's and womens tops in both race and club cut, shorts, tri sports bras, tri items. I urge you to take the time to try on the clothes before you order. I did, and discovered that I take large race cut jersey and large bib shorts. These clothes seem to run a little bit bigger than last year's. But try for yourself.

Also, Northampton Bicycle is doing us a huge favor by holding the samples. Make sure you are extremely nice to them when you go in. If you think you may need some tubes this year, consider buying some.

Remember, the staff at Northampton Bicycle gets nothing out of this, and has nothing to do with the order. They are just doing a favor and hoping to gain good will. Northampton Bicycle has agreed to sponsor the club again, and they will even give you a 10% discount on most purchases.

Club clothing will look similar to last year, with a little more white space on the jersey and Carolina blue instead of teal. They will be really sharp. I will try to get an image up soon.
