UFC 94 second update and UPGRADE

We've had some good interest for this... which is understandable since it's going to be rad. I hope Penn comes in shape and ready to defend himself from GSP's onslaught.

Paul has offered his place, which is way better since his LCD is bigger and his sound is better and we can drink our own beer and it'll be cheaper. Also, we don't need to get there early anymore !! Try to get there between 7:30 and 8pm.

His place is bigger than Melrose too :)

He lives up near Cougar Ridge but a little south. At ....

Keith, get Craig out, I don't think I would reconize him not in a jersey.

Wanted: Campy 10spd Rear Derailleur

I'm in need of a new/used Campy 10spd rear derailleur as I've trashed mine recently. If anyone would consider selling a Chorus or Record rear derailleur please let me know.

Happy riding,

Jason W.

UFC 94 update

I have a table reserved at Melrose Cafe & Bar (17th ave across from Western Canada High School).

There is a cheap surface lot on the West side of Western Canada High (across from the Starbucks). Parking can be crazy down there.

We will need to be there by 6pm as the expect a sell out on this card. Please let me know if you are still in.

Thanks

Michael

Check out Page 6 of today's Calgary Sun!

Well... I didn't make the final cut of the photo, but we managed to cram a lot of spinners into one shot!  As I suspected, Rob, Bonnie, Tracey, Lisa, Mitzie, and Rick were much more photogenic than Alex and I. Good posing guys.

If someone has an online subscription to this newpaper, can you please send me an electronic copy of this article?

Thanks, Trev

Members signing up from now until Feb. 13th, and then beyond...

We are still welcoming new team members, and encourage you to sign up. In order to receive custom team clothing early enough for the start of the race season however, you will need to download the clothing spreadsheet to your right and follow the instructions.

After this deadline, we will still accept new members, however we will have to slowly accumulate enough clothing orders to justify an order after this, so your clothing will undoubtedly come after the race season has started. You can still race for ST Cycling with a jersey from the store though in the mean time, but it will just mean you have to buy that jersey as well.

Thanks for the continued membership sign up.

Medium Team Jacket

Does anyone have a medium size team jacket I can borrow next week? We want to look like the Speed Theory Pain Train during the 300km Brevet. The large jacket I now have (mixed up with somone at the last TT) doesn't show off my figure properly.

Thanks
Stephen

Don't Celebrate Too Soon

Don't bring disgrace to Speed Theory. Practice the victory routine first...

Bike maintenance book for sale

* Based on a downpayment of $2000 and a 24-month lease term.

UFC 94

It is not position to make unilateral decisions on behalf of the club, but the time has come for a team get together, bonding over guys who suffer as much as we do.

Next Saturday, January 31 is UFC 94. Canadian bad ass Georges St. Pierre, current Welterweight champ is fighting BJ "the Prodigy" Penn for the championship. These two guys had a war a few years ago that went to a split decision for St. Pierre. It will be a great fight.

I can set up a table for us at Melrose, great place to watch UFC, the atmosphere will be awesome as this is a highly anticipated fight. I will likely need to make the reservation by Wednesday of next week, so anyone interested in coming respond to the post.

Clothing Spreadsheet has been created.

OK, the spreadsheet will be going out Monday morning. It is being sent to team members through the Karelo mailing list. If you have not received it by Tues. morning, email me or leave a comment. You will have until Feb. 13th to have a cheque written and your completed spreadsheet emailed back to me.

If you are not a race team member yet, and plan to be, we will not have extra clothes this year. Therefore, it is time to register if you want clothes for early season races. People that decide to join at a late date can use the ST jersey from the store, however it won't be as cool as ours and the correct size won't be guaranteed.

I am excited about this team kit since it will be an improvement on Alberta's best kit already and it will only be available to race team members !!

Crankmasters Pub & Awards Night

Are there any other ST folks that are also second-tier Crankmasters members heading to the Pub night tonight? Just curious.

Team Clothing and making sure you are a member.

OK, we are going to get cracking on ordering clothing. I will be sending out the spreadsheet for you to sign up what, and how many, you want very soon. I will use the Karelo email list. So if you are not a club member yet and plan on racing for the team, it would be in your best interest to sign up very soon.

The modifications we are going to make to the existing jersey are:

1.)  Right under the main logo on the front and back we will have 'Race Team'. So it will say 'Speed Theory Race Team' in two lines. 

2.) We're going to add a red band around the left arm's sleeve, with 'Jason Lapeirre Memorial' written in black.

These jerseys will only be given to race team members, so that is really cool.

SO... morale of the story is:   You can definately become a race team member after this deadline coming up, however we cannot guarantee clothing for you right at the start of the season.

Forever hold your peace.

Here is a link to the manufacturer we will be using  There are several samples in the store so you can get an idea of the sizing scheme they use. Thanks Thomas for reminding me to add these points.
