Bye, bye paper form. Head over to the membership tab for the link to the new updated member application and pay via PayPal all in one sitting. The team store will be open soon so don’t waste time, but even if you don’t want this years kit you don’t have to order it, just simply retain your membership and you still qualify for team benefits and discounts.

Hello Members, wanted to update you on the new board members for this upcoming year and the roles everyone is serving on the board.

Thanks to everyone who attended the Team Appreciation Party last week at Surla’s! It was a fun night and always great to see everyone. Congratulations to our newly elected 2016-17 CdV Board Members: John Kekuewa, Doug Vrieling, Pete Schoenenberger, John Gerling, Liisa Travis, Don Grabowski, and Grant Linhares. They will be meeting later this week and assigning board positions. A draft version of the new kit was also revealed, which has been positively received by the membership. In case you couldn’t make the meeting, it’s posted below. The new membership year begins Nov.1 and the JL Velo kit fitting and all team ride is Nov. 5. And finally, a big FSB welcome to the 17 new members who joined the team in the last month and a warm thank you to the many loyal and enthusiastic members who are returning to FSB next year!

The year has really flown by and CdV is already revving up for the 2016-17 membership year.  A number of new documents have been uploaded to the website including the 2016-17 membership application. New and returning members can begin submitting applications on September 1, 2016. The new membership year technically begins November 1, 2016 but new members may join after September 1st and enjoy the remainder of the 2015-16 year for free.  The 2015-2016 Race Reimbursement Form is also available.  It’s important to note that the submission deadline has been moved up this year to September 30, 2016, to ensure that members receive their race reimbursement before having to pay membership dues for next year or order clothing.  Race Reimbursement Forms must be received by the Race Director, Doug Vrieling, before September 30, 2016.  An updated 2016-2017 Sponsorship Proposal is also available for download and the link may be forwarded to prospective sponsors as well. Thank you again to all of our current sponsors, your support is greatly appreciated! If you’re returning as a sponsor next year please let Doug know ASAP, as next year’s kit is already in the design process.  Questions regarding any of these documents should be directed to Doug Vrieling at dvrieling@gmail.com.   The document links are posted on the News page of this website and also below:
