Number One Reason to Belong to a Bike Club

There are dozens and dozens of reasons to belong to a cycling club. You can have friends to ride and race with, to whom you may pretend to be a totally awesome bike racing juggernaut and then - after you are exposed as a not-so-awesome juggernaut - tell lies to about why you are not fit anymore... the list goes on and on.

But one of the best reasons in my mind is the team kit. You get top-quality stuff at good prices and (with any luck at all) it looks good too. So here's the deal:

The club I belong to (A World of Pain in Delaware Ohio) is taking orders for team kit. We're not snobby and figure the more the merrier. So if you can read this you are now part of the team and can order up some snazzy new gear. Congrats!

We buy our stuff from Hincapie Sportswear and I can vouch for the quality. It is really very nice gear. Prices are good because we are buying a lot of stuff at once. We even snuck a PKR logo onto the ass of the shorts. Instructions for ordering are below.

The access code is: aworldofpain

Form there, just choose what you want and you're done. Once the order is all totaled up you'll be contacted by Hincapie to make your payment. The reason why you do not pay immediately is that if we order a lot of product the price might go down. 

The kit design is shown below.
