Hi again,

I hate to say this but our clothing order is at risk this year. I have
received orders from 10 members only and therefore am nowhere near to having
the minimum quantities necessary to place an order with Sugoi. The shorts
and jerseys are re-orders so the minimum number is 24 whereas, since the
jackets and arm warmers are new items, the minimum order quantity is 36.

I understand that this is the middle of winter and that cycling might not be
top-of-mind for everyone but we do need to place the order quickly if we
want the goods by April.

So please, if you intend to purchase any club clothing this year, you must
let me know.

Also, we will need payment before placing the order to satisfy the Sugoi
policy so I will let you know how to get the funds to the club (my mistake
for not mentioning this earlier).

Cheers all,

François Faust

PS Thanks to those that have replied

Hi all,

Hope you are having a pleasant start to the New Year.

It is now time for us to place our clothing order for the upcoming season.
Sugoi is quoting an 8-week delivery so I need to get your replies in
quickly; I would like to order by 23 January to get the stuff in by the end
of March.

As you can see from the attached form, we are offering 5 items this year.
The jacket and arm warmers are brand new while the shorts and jerseys have
slightly different logos. The jacket is a nice all around technical piece
and you can view its features at
http://www.sugoi.ca/custom/options.aspx?s.styleID=9&page=customNordic

Please go over the attached form and let me know:

- What items you want
- How many of each
- What size

Quoted prices do not include GST & PST and are for quantities of 36. If we
order more than 50 of individual items, we will get an additional discount
so the prices will come down a bit more.

You can either:
-Reply to this e-mail
-Fax the order form to my attention at (905) 673-8733
-Call me at home at (905) 825-2675

I will advise once the clothing is in and ready for pick up.

Cheers all,

François Faust


PS Thanks to those who answered my initial survey

Sounds good. Thanks

Barry

Thank you for using the Oakville Cycling Club's Yahoo! Group message service
for members and friends of OCC.

Please see the attached email regarding the Queenston / Lewiston Bridge Access,
and forward your comments if you wish, to the address listed at the bottom of
this email.

----------


Although it was very short notice, myself and other few people were able to
attend the Environmental Assessment Information Centre on Dec. 9th. regarding
the proposed changes to hwy. 405 the bridge and it's approaches.

In summary, the proposal they are favouring (carry forward) is one which will
see access to the bridge closed from the Niagara Parkway.  Access onto the
bridge will then only be from 405 hwy.which is a controlled access hwy and
cyclist are prohibited. They studied four alternatives, and the only one which
would continue to permit cyclist was the "Do Nothing" one.   And that is not
going to happen.

The sidewalk issue I feel is a dead horse, they closed the walk following 9/11, 
without any hassle and are in desperate need to find additional space on the
bridge for designated trucklanes, and the sidewalks are going to give them the
needed space.  Although it should not have surprised me the "Alternatives
Evaluation" never mentioned cyclist, let alone pedestrians.

Frank Pravitz an active member of the RNBC (Eng. Task Force) also attended and
has an idea which he plans to put forth and although it would mean cyclist would
have to access the bridge via a pedestrian catwalk they propose to construct for
staff,  and could be a zig/zag type ramp instead of stairs.  Although not
perfect, it has the potential of at least maintaining some type of access onto
the bridge for cyclists and would not be much in added expense.

It has to be appreciated that this is a very involved & complex issue and those
who attended were continuously reminded about safety, (the mix of bikes, with
cars and trucks), SECURITY, (Canada & U.S. Custom & Immigration staff have some
kind of difficulty with processing cyclist) and the feeling that the bridge only
had six cyclists cross it last year.  A number we really questioned.  I would
have to say they were surprised that cycling was maybe going to become an issue.
They also mentioned there were three other bridges, however the Whirlpool is now
only open to Nexus Pass Holders and we are becoming increasingly concerned about
how much longer cyclist will have access to the Peace Bridge.

I believe the key to having some type of success with this issue is our
stressing the importance of having a crossing which ties together the Lake
Ontario Waterfront Trail,  & The Great Circle Route with the U.S. Trails and
being the Seaway, Erie Canal and the one they are presently developing along the
river, Youngstown, to Buffalo.  The just published Niagara Bikeways Master Plan
vision is to develop an integrated system of bikeways across Niagara, which will
provide a visible and easily accessible cycling network as a means of
facilitating the use of bicycles for leisure, recreation, utilitarian, and
tourism purposes.  Having a direct linkage to the U.S. trail system is of utmost
importance if we ever hope to accomplish the vision of Niagara becoming a
cycling Mecca for the residents of Niagara & tourism.

Whatever the outcome is, it will cast the die for the other bridges and
determine whether cyclists are going to be further limited as to were they might
wish to travel.

I encourage the cycling community to provide comments to the Consultants and
additional information is also availble from them.

Hi all,

Please help me out by replying to this e-mail. I am now responsible for the
club's clothing file.

Could you tell me what are the clothing items that you would like for the
next riding season? I am not asking for a commitment at this time but am
rather trying to get a feel for what I should put on the order form that I
will send out to all members shortly.

What's your wish list? (jerseys, shorts, bib shorts, jackets, arm warmers,
etc.?) You can see what is available at
http://www.sugoi.ca/custom/custom.aspx?sportID=1&dynamic=T

One question: if we have enough demand to go for a jacket, should we go for
a nylon shell or something warmer - more of a three-season piece?

Feel free to forward any questions or comments.

Thanks,

François Faust

Hi:  My wife Fay and I have 2001 Giant TCR 2s and I checked with my dealer.
Their feedback was that the recall had gone out a long time ago and that all
the suspect bikes had been accounted for.

Is there something new that I should know about???

Thanks

This message is for women in the Club and/or
friends/wives/mother/daughters of Club members.  Please pass this
email along!

A number of women have been asking about cycling outings to get
started/restarted into riding.

We wondered who might be interested in the following:

1)  Women's only weekly spinning class through the winter -- to get
ourselves ready for the spring riding -- you can ride at your own
pace and build up intensity over the winter as much or little as you
like!

2)  Relatively easy paced riding (ie. leave no one behind!) in the
spring to get everyone restarted on the road -- probably once every
week or two during the early season.

Please email me if you are interested, and we'll work out details to
suit.

Sue

Hello Everyone:

> Further to my e-mail earlier this month...here is the information regarding
next week's OCC Awards/Social Night:

On behalf the Oakville Cycling Club, I would like to invite you and yours to
attend an evening of fun and fellowship with your fellow club members and to
recognise those who achieved and contributed that little extra bit during the
course of the year while participating in Club and/or OCA activities.
>
The awards/social night will be on Saturday Evening Nov22nd at the Loon at
Firkin Pub in Oakville.
>
> The Loon & Firkin Pub is located at 256 Church St (just West of Trafalgar) in
lovely Downtown Oakville.
>
> We would very much like it if you could join us.
>
> We are doing things a little different this year. There is a special room we
have booked at the pub just for us. This room is reserved from 6pm and on. The
evening is broken down in 2 distinct parts.
>
> From 6:00pm to 7:30pm the reserved room is open for dinner. There is no
pre-payment required this year. Just order and pay from the excellent menu for
what you want. The food is great and quite reasonable in price -  and they have
an extensive selection of beer (bottle and tap) and wines. This way, if you
don't want to cook dinner at home, arrive at 6ish and enjoy a nice quiet dinner
before the actual event takes place.
>
> If you wish to eat dinner at home and attend only the awards/Social part, then
please show up for 7:30pm. Things will wrap up by about 9:00. Appetizers/finger
foods will be available courtesy of the club. However, you may wish to order and
pay for some extra food and/or drink when you arrive.
>
> After the Awards/Social part is over at 9, many of us will probably remain and
share a few laughs.
>
> NOTE:
> Even though the evening is basically a la carte, I still need a head count for
the management of the pub - so the correct amount of tables/servers and
appetizers/finger foods can be prepared for us.
>
> Please let me know if you will be attending either:
>
> 1. the dinner part (from 6-7:30pm) and how many -  OR
>
> 2. if you will be attending the Awards/Social part (from 7:30 on) only.
>
> Again, there is no cost for the evening as you order from the menu & pay for
the food/drink that you wish. If you can think of someone you know that would
like to attend as your guest, please le me know.
>
> Looking forward to hearing from soon...

Sincerely,

Five members and friends attended performances of Carmen and all
thought it was a great show.
The same offer of a 20% discount on tickets is now available on the
Royal Opera Canada productions of Nabucco on November 15th, 16th
(matinee) 18th 20th and 22nd at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga
and on November 27th, 29th, December 4th and December 6th at the
Toronto Centre for the Arts on Yonge Street in North York.
Please contact me by email or phone at
trooney@... or 905 465 3890.
The Opera has a great deal of rousing tuneful music and features the
beautiful Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves (Va pensiero) often regarded as
Italy's second national anthem.

Hope to see you there

Thanks to Chris for hosting the Season's End Team Ride. Some of you missed a
nice time.
Of course with the soaking we had going up Watson Rd, it was probably the
right thing in cutting the Eden Mills portion out, saving us an additional
1/2 hr in soggy glove and pantalone.  In better weather, Eden is sweet...
Keeping group rides like this a regular thing throughout the winter will
inject some much needed endurance come spring.
