Want a New MCC Kit? Here’s Your Chance!

MCCers!

The club is putting together an order for club clothing using the last design. Ordering is all on line and very easy. (See instructions below from Voler)

FIT KIT: MCC is getting a fit kit. This includes bottoms and tops with sizes ranging from XS to XXL. The kit includes wind shells/vests and knickers. The kit will be available for only a short time.

MCC will have two dates set aside:

  • February 4th, Saturday. Kit will be located at 1105 104th Ave Holland MI. This is Marshall’s house. Fitting from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.
  • February 6th, this is the monthly MCC winter meeting. Meetings are held at Turk’s restaurant starting at 8:00 pm. Fit kit will be available starting at 7:30 pm.

Please email Marshall at mmichmerhuizen@charter.net if you need to arrange another time.

The FIT KIT will only be available for two weeks.

Ordering dead line is March 11th with delivery the first week in May. All ordering and payment is online through Voler.

Quick questions from previous orders:

“What’s Race jersey vs. Club jersey?” Race is a form fitting European cut. Narrow waist and chest. Club cut is looser fitting and considered more U.S. style. 90% of all jerseys ordered are Club cut.
Questions concerning fit and ordering on line should be asked to Voler. (They are very helpful)

“Do we have a minimum order?” Yes. 15 piece for short sleeve, 15 for bottoms and 15 for long sleeve.

“What happens if a minimum is not met?” Purchases made will be refunded. You will have a chance near the end of ordering to switch from one group to another. We will try and give warning if we are coming up short.

Thanks for reading.

We need 2 people to help with registration from 10a.m. to noon. After the last race on Sunday (2:00p.m.), we need 10 people to help take down the course. It should only take about 30 minutes. Please come out and lend a hand. Thanks in advance for volunteering. See you Sunday!
