Overland has worked with Jett Development Group to do a refresh of our club jerseys. The refreshed design now includes our wonderful city and state and the Colorado flag strategically placed on the front and back of the jersey (see image below).
There is one style, the All Mountain Short Sleeve, with men's and women's sizing. The price is $50 per jersey and orders will be shipped directly to you. Shipping is approximately $10 for a single jersey and sales tax is charged, but if your order totals $100 or more (ie two jerseys or 1 jersey and $50 of additional Jett merchandise), shipping is free. Order multiple jerseys or get together with friends to order two or more and save on the shipping! If you already know your size, you can ORDER NOW.
If you are not sure of your size, we will be holding jersey sizing sessions at our kickoff meeting on Thursday, March 6th and additional sessions on on Saturday, March 8th (11:30am to 1:30pm at Performance Bicycles in Fort Collins) and Sunday, March 16th (time and location TBD).
Registration for the Laramie Enduro is now open and filling fast. If you want to ride one of the great mountain bike endurance races in the country, register now.

The highly anticipated Overland Season finale is coming this Monday, October 28th at 6:30pm at New Belgium Brewery. This is our annual awards night and celebration of the recent mountain biking season and is always a good time for our members and friends. Costumes are recommended and if the weather is conducive, bring a bike for the post meeting costume crawl around Old Town.
Because of capacity issues there are some potential changes coming to some of our more popular trails and trailheads. Check out the article on the Larimer County website: http://www.larimer.org/news/newsDetail.cfm?id=2238
Unfortunately, tomorrow's Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day at Lory State Park has been cancelled. We consulted the weather forecast and the park service. Clearly, the current spate of unseasonably gloomy weather will cause the trails to be too wet. Riding on wet trails creates tracks that can channel water in ways that may erode the trails. It also will be quite chilly tomorrow morning (in the low 30s).
This is one of our favorite club events and we really appreciate the public's interest in it! We believe it's important to promote safe, fun, and sustainable mountain biking for kids in our community. Next year we will better plan for the possibility of foul weather (e.g. having a pre-determined rain date or pre-planned alternative activity). We also want to thank all those who volunteered for the event.
Just a reminder that our monthly meeting will be taking place Monday evening, September 30th, at 6:30pm at the Agave Room upstairs at the Rio. Featured guest speakers include: Tessa Greegor, the City of Fort Collins Bike Program Manger, and interested board member candidates. There are four board spots to be filled, so if you are interested in running, please be prepared to say a few words about why you would like to be considered.
