Your pre-order on the Jakroo site should now be marked Pending Approval and your payment should go through soon once the final prices are determined. A note on the Vapor wind vests: Jakroo had several technical issues and this item periodically disappeared from our store over the past two weeks. If you ordered it, it should still appear in your pre-order but the price may not reflect the applicable volume discount. The adult vest was regular price $226 but we had over 30 orders, reducing it by 40% to $136 before applying the 15% club discount and adding tax. We should all end up paying only $129 for our adult wind vests.
The club made some strategic purchases of a few items and we have a small amount of stock to sell (see pic). We chose items that were near volume thresholds to ensure member orders could enjoy substantial volume discounts. You can find a dynamic (ie. up to date) spreadsheet of those items and instructions on how to order them at this link.
We are working through a few final design-proof issues with Jakroo. We expect production of the order to start this week and delivery around the beginning of September. The order will all be shipped to a member home (thank you Ron & Heidi!) where a small army of volunteers will sort and put your orders together for pickup. This will have collectively saved us over a thousand bucks! Stay tuned for pickup timing and location details.
We are so grateful to Carey Newman for sharing his gifts and giving us a new visual identity that acknowledges both the Indigenous Peoples on whose traditional territories we ride and Tripleshot’s heritage. To honour Carey (and with his input), the club will donate $1,000 to an Indigenous-led team in this year’s Tour de Cure cycling fundraiser. The funds will go towards improving the cancer experience for Indigenous patients and families while they are receiving care at BC Cancer. This includes direct supports for Indigenous cancer patients while they receive care, and working with Indigenous communities and artists to make cultural safety capital improvements to BC Cancer facilities.
Finally, a huge thank you again to board member Justine Johnson for the HUGE amount of hours she continues to put into this enormous undertaking!
