We have also received a delivery date for our 2012 order of CLUB KIT. I have gone ahead and added all of the items to our online registration system. This includes up to date inventory levels. Once the kit is gone, it’s gone for the year. Please don’t hesitate, make your order early, to ensure you get the size you need.
You can order today, and your kit will be ready for pick up on June 22, or we’ll ship it to you the following week. If you have feedback or questions, don’t hesitate to reply back to this email.

Finally, We have some HUGE News in regards to our future direction:
The executive of BCC and Team BTG are stoked to share some exciting information with you.
Over the winter months we have been working together to develop innovative partnerships so we can achieve shared objectives and invest in the future of cycling in our community.
With a renewed vision and leadership, we are pleased to communicate that BCC and BTG are working together to integrate the two Clubs as one. While we continue to work on the timelines, this transition will be of great benefit to the cycling community in Simcoe County.
As you know, the focus for both clubs has been to increase youth participation, community awareness and cycling opportunities for all. By increasing awareness of the sport it is our objective to personify the health and character building attributes that cycling can bring in our community. We are building the culture of the sport through a structured approach, linking fitness, sportsmanship, discipline, fortitude, humility, leadership, and strength of character.
We also intend to provide awareness and support for cycling by helping local athletes’ progress through the sport of cycling from grassroots participation through to the elite level Provincially and Nationally.
Our efforts to date have resulted in being named the Ontario Cycling Associations first “Youth Certified Club” and the creation of Team Centurion Development Canada consisting of young riders from both clubs.
Over the season you’ll see the Blue / Red of Team CDC, Blue / Black of BTG, and the Blue / Yellow of BCC on the roads and trails together.
Scheduled club rides are posted online and members of both clubs are welcome to attend any or all, we really look forward to growing the size of our rides & events through this partnership.
If you have any input, comments, or questions, please don’t hesitate to contact myself, or Kelly-Anne. It’s going to be a great season, I look forward to seeing all of you on your bikes!
Yours in Sport,
Barrie Cycling Club
