we are pretty lucky in perth. good weather all year around and even this week of hot weather isn’t bad enough to stop people from riding. it is good to just have to get a jersey and knicks out of the wardrobe for a change rather than arm warmers, undergarments, vests, long gloves, knee warmers, bootie covers, etc. the new kit order has been sent through and so hopefully in about 4 weeks we should be sporting the new gear. we will be running continuous orders every 2-3 months, so if you missed out, you can still get something in a few months. also, you will be able to get that winter gear before the nice weather disappears.
