Eric just sent out this email. If you did not get it let me know. 12 orders submitted out of the 45 members isn't looking too good, I guess Reel Theatre and their generous sponsorship for clothing will be getting off easy this year ;)
RE:
Hey Team Reel,
Sorry to bug everyone again, but this is a reminder that it's now your last chance to put in your 2010 clothing order. With it being online this year, and managed directly by Voler, we will have no wiggle room to add more orders after the deadline.
You've 4 days, until this Sunday, January the 24th, to finalize your shopping carts or you'll be waiting until 2011 for new stuff. If you've already submitted your order and want to add more items that's not a problem (you can also delete items up until the deadline). FYI, the club will likely order a very small amount of spare clothing this year (if any at all).
I currently show 45 names/emails of people "in" the club. 18 people have signed up with Voler, while only 12 of those have actually submitted their orders (6 people with stuff in their carts that still needs to be summited). Here's the link again one last time:
(Removed if you need it let me know)
So far we've got 4 brand new sponsors signed up this year, with a few others still on the fence. Thanks a ton to those members who have been out wrangling these up for the club! We've still got room to shuffle things around if you'd like to get a name/logo onto the clothing, but let me know by the deadline on that also.
Thanks!
Eric
making progress -- currently at 7 mountain bike jerseys.
Anybody else going to help the cause? C'mon, Rob pointed out that the "cool kids" will all be wearing them (http://treasurevalleycycling.com/node/449#comment-1756) and I really want to buy my way into that posse!
The Order...
Wow, talk about a bunch of procrastinators... the order numbers I've seen are BIG now... really big. Biggest of any year so far. Reel Theatres definitely did not get off easy, that's for sure. :)
Thanks for all the lobbying on the downhill/freeride jerseys too Ladd as we just squeaked by on the minimum on that one and likely won't hit it again for a couple years! Nice work!!!
What's the 3/19 date refer to?
Does that mean the order will ship on 3/19? If so, then that means we should get stuff in time for Moab!
yes :)
3/19 is the latest ship date. It actually might ship anytime that week and could be earlier as long as nothing gets screwed up or delayed. That was part of the thinking when setting the dates... getting it in time for spring break fun and some of the first races. We should have it all the week before moab sometime.
Clothing Update! Some bad news.
Just received a call from Voler and we've got a bit of bad news on the clothing order... at least it's not horrible though. Voler has run into a major snag with their elite fabric supplier and have completely run out of the stuff. So all items using "elite" fabric are on hold until they get the supplier issue resolved. He hoped it would be really soon, but could be several weeks out.
Looking through our order here it looks like almost every person upgraded to the elite fabric this year since the price difference was minimal. So nearly everyone will be missing shorts, bibs, knickers & skinsuits from what I see.
The rest of the order is still on track to ship by this Friday and have in our hands before all the Moabites depart the next weekend. Sorry for the bad news.
Clothing
Dang, thats a bummer! At least they are working on it and we can eventually get our stuff. It definitely could be worse.
Good news
Yeah it could. He called and said he had good news and bad news.
Good news was that the bad news wasn't that bad. hah
Still shipping on Friday?
We need to break in those sweet DH jerseys!
YUP
Still on track they say.

I need my man bra
I need my man bra tri top. What is going on with that?
On Hold
They're not shipping man bras until you can provide them with notarized credentials and proof of your authentic men's bra (Bro) license with the state. Manzier documentation will not be accepted, so don't even try.
elite stuff timing?
Eric, did Voler provide any guidance on the timing of the elite stuff? Are we talking like a week or two delay or a couple month delay, do you know?
The ELITE Update
I shot him an email asking for a better estimate and just received this. Sounds like we're in great shape! Maybe even before Moab.
Hey Eric,
We are in a production meeting right now. The elite items will be ready to ship out mid next week and we will expedite the shipping. So they might actually arrive about the same time. It will be a couple extra days at most, definitely not weeks nor months.
Bill
Any word if things shipped?
Moab is coming... :)
No word.
Keep your fingers crossed. :)
Scratch that...
JUST got an email right now. Looks like the main order shipped late (maybe they just held it) but he says EVERYTHING was included in it. UPS says 4 large boxes are estimated for a Friday arrival. Cutting it close, so I hope there are no hiccups, but I think we're good to go!
IT'S HERE!
Well it only took Jamie and I 3 hours to sort and separate... but all 94lbs of the team reel clothing order arrived today safe and sound. We've got it bagged up per person and hopefully I can get it dropped at Meridian Cycles sometime before I leave.
Sweet!
Voler comes through again. 94 lbs? Did you have to sort with a shovel??? Thanks for plowing through all that!
