  • Gravel Races:  Meeting with Tim scheduled on Sunday on taking over ENDTICK and ENDCHIP

 

  • March Junkyard event?  Maybe after a Wednesday Fat Bike Ride?  Ie. 7 pm.  Depends on the weather season though.  Or should we do a weekend evening one night?

    • I want to have our planned events

      • As a goal I'd like for us to have something planned each month.  I'll share my ideas.  

    • Want to have our memberships clearly defined.

    • Want to have our store for our kit setup by this time. 

 

  • Maintenance Clinic in April: Kevin - can we get dates for a Saturday(?)  Clinic at Scheels.  

 

  • Free Fondo

    • Mak sent video of Vegan Cyclist and free event he did.

    • Sounds like an event the group would be interested in doing.

    • Cost are likely much less for this

    • Terry mentioned some cool riding south of Valley City area that he's done which could be great route and terrain for such and event.

    • May or June timeframe?

 

  • Racing Group:

    • Separate Monthly Racing Meeting for our Racing Team/Group/Membership.

    • To start our Racing Side of Flatlands. 

    • Will look to start this in March.

    • Wild Terra is being looked at for the venue

 

  • Team Kit:

    • We should pick a provider soon, so as to get our "store" setup on their site with our design and people can start to put in orders, and will arrive in time for the season.

    • If anyone has passion or desire on dig in on this this, feel free to take the ball and run with this.   The only must from me, is that there needs to be a store option for people to order and pay for their own kit without having to deal with us.

      • Would be nice if we can protect the store via code, I saw that on one of the sites.  Not to say people won't share it, but if that's one of the things we have for our Free Membership, is that you have access to buy the kit, that not just anyone can look it up and buy it without being a member, or at least asking one, and hopefully they'll guide them to join the club. 

    • Some options:

      • Podium Wear - Terry has used in the past with success

      • DNA Cycling - used by some of the Leadville Teams and the Leadville Podcast for their kit yearly

      • Jackroo - Have just heard the name
