Thirty cyclists stepped up to order one or more items of the new(er) kit. Thanks to these (unofficial angels who bought on this final order. As seems to be the way of SOBs, a very special award is engraved in titanium in the cyclist's hall of fame up above.

Those SOBs who chose not to purchase anything this time or in the Spring will have to wait a bit while the designer dentist recovers from a last late hour extraction of  the final order from Irene Jackson for the last item, a pair of shorts. 

Unofficially, my sentiments are to recognize those who went beyond the call of duty. Huge thanks. It was their largesse and not the commitments from non members or the flow of (not really annoying) messages which got us in the black. As a matter of fact, I received an offer for a marketing management position.  Those to whom we owe big time:

            Devon Dalzell....4 items                    J.P. Farrell....3 items

            Karin Roth........3 items                    John Sumner..3 items

           .....and everybody give a deep bow and hug to Robert Pierce....FIVE ITEMS!!!!!! 

Not to be ignored in any sense are the others who must be counted:

Ernie Atlas                                       Jim Hallquist                                      Karin Roth

Caryl Baron                                      Wayne Hoover (non-SO                   Herb Schon

Pamela Betts                                    Wes Horner                                       Irene Jackson

E. Crosswhite                                    James Jimmerson                             John Sumner (non-SO

Devon Dalzell                                     Ian Norrish (GIFTS!!!!!!)                       Alan Wordlow

Lisl Dennis                                         Fred Nugent                                     Pam Parfitt

John Farrell                                        Angelo Otero(Texas)                         Lynn Pickard

George Gamble                                  Robert Pierce    

Shipping date is October 21 and distribution will be, as in the past,  by way of "will call" or at rides. If there are no scheduled rides, I plan to continue announcing unofficial ones and if you care to participate, the kit items will be in my possession at the starts. In the next couple of weeks, design work will be finalized for long sleeve and bottom items. They will be in harmony with the already designed and issued short sleeve items.

Personal thanks from me. Designing these kits was a labor of love.

Be well...ride strong.......HERB
