Hi Simon..Thanks for all your Kit order work.
How is that Spring ?? gear order coming ? Is it being sent to us directly..I got a confirmation invoice with ship to address to my home address.
As I suggested at last AGM...It may be helpful for you and us ..to set a date now for the next order, say one we want to recieve by Sept 20, 2014...with a strict cut off date and an ETA.

Re: Spring Kit , and Fall 2014 order.
Hi Paul/All,
The kit order is at Champ-Sys with a ship date of late May. When it ships, I will have the ability to track the order through the mail and will post updates on this board.
The kit is being shipped in one lot to Deb and I. As usual we will sort it and distribute it to club members at rides, coffee shops, races, street corners....whatever it takes. The invoice you received is from TripleShot and is a template from PayPal which is why it lists your home address. I separately placed the order with Champ-Sys and they only have my home address.
I really want to move towards standardized order dates. Currently it is February-ish and July-ish. In practice, having a hard date is easier said than done. For instance, the spring order was to close on February 15th but we had to keep it open into March because there were too few orders and we did not meet minimums. ETAs are also out of our control because it depends on how long the queue is at Champ-Sys. My rule of thumb is 3 months: 3 weeks to get the order together, 6 weeks for manufacturing, and 3 weeks for shipping.
As long as there is enough interest to meet minimums, there will be a fall kit order. Given 3 months, a July-ish order will likely arrive in October-ish - perfect for Cyclocross and winter riding.
