Hi gang.

Thanks to everyone who showed up for yesterday's ride. A strenuous but beautiful route, and the wind mostly left us alone.

And special thanks to Lynn and Lilian for volunteering to lead another ride next weekend. I hope lots of teams show up to support some of our newest members. Special thanks, too, to Jeff and Betty Roth for adopting our May orphan, Sunday, the 6th.

If you look at the calendar on the SDTC Web site, you'll see we've now got rides scheduled for four out of the five Sundays in March--a first! Anyone want to volunteer to fill in the 25th? And any volunteers for the remaining Sundays through May? Call me ambitious, but I like the look of all those Sundays with rides scheduled! :) Not to mention that it would give us an opportunity for more varied rides. (Distance, difficulty, etc.)

On another subject, below is a brief survey to help us gauge the level of interest in the club for some ideas that we either were unable to get to in January's meeting or that have been brought up since. If you could fire back your responses, it would help us determine whether or not to move forward with any of these.

Many thanks!

Sarah

SDTC Survey

1. Rich Patterson has offered to facilitate getting club T-shirts emblazoned with the club logo. There is a minimum order of 40 shirts, and men’s and women’s cuts would be available, in a full range of sizes.

a)      Would you be interested in buying a club T-shirt for about $10?
b)      If so, how many T-shirts in total would you as a team be interested in buying?
c)      What would your first and second color choices be?

2. Sam Powell has looked into getting car decals made with the club logo.

a)      Would you be interested in buying a decal for about $5?
b)      If so, how many would you as a team be interested in ordering (both captain and stoker)?

3. Would you be interested in an overnighter to Ventura? (This would be similar in format to Kirk and Trudie's Borrego weekend—drive up and ride in the area over two days. N.B.: In case you're unfamiliar with Ventura, there is excellent, varied cycling in the area.)

If so, would you be interested in contributing to a truck rental for transporting the tandems so you could take the train to Ventura? (Amtrak cannot accommodate tandems on the Pacific Surfliner.)

4. Would you be interested in an overnighter to Temecula? (This would be a mini-tour, similar in format to the Dana Point weekend, where we would carry our own panniers.)

5. Would you like to see the club logo redesigned? (Obviously, this would affect the timing for #1 and #2 above.)

If so, what would you like to see in a new logo?
