Saturday she won the circuit race and placed second in ITT.  Then Sunday she won the crit in an awesome sprint finish. Showing she is certainly developing into an all around bike racer. She definitely earns the title of our next Super Junior considering she isn’t even 13 yrs old yet.

Congrats as well to, Victoria Nelson, our only other sponsored rider representing ORC this past weekend. The two young girls are quite the team! Victoria won the TT and placed 2nd in the crit as well as on the podium for the omnium. Looks like its going to be a great year for both of our young riders! Way to represent ORC girls!

Be sure to read their race reports when posted in here for the inside scoop.

Congrats to ORC Junior members Ricardo Reyes and his brother Josue Reyes for both placing 1st in each of their divisions in the Ironkids National Triathalon Champions held in St. Petersburg this past Sunday! Awesome and way to go Ricardo and Josue!!!

Ricardo (age 11) and Josue Reyes (age 9) are ORC Junior Team Members and competed this past Sunday for the Ironkids Triathalon National Championship – held this year in St Petersburg. Ricardo competed in the 11-M division and Josue in the 9-M division. Both of them were first in the Bike Rate for their age group. Alberto – the proud father of both – thanks all of the ORC team coaches and members who helped them during the training rides on Saturdays. Alberto credits that training to helping them out-bike everyone else in the field. He asked me to note that Josue’s bike time was faster than any of the competitors in both the 9 and 10 age group. He also wanted to mention that Ricardo’s run wasn’t the fastest – but it was the bike area particularly that secured the win. Again congrats again to them both and we look forward to seeing them train and race with us : )

Congrats to the Podiums who competed in the Nocatee Race Weekend. Time Trial: Pro 1/2: Winston David, Jr 13-14 2nd Nicholas Collins, Crit: Jr 10-12 – 2nd – Mackenzie Collins, Jr 13-14 – 2nd – Michael Hernandez, and the Road Race: Jr 13-14 – Nicholas Collins.

It is that time of the year to submit your uniform orders for 2011. The uniform company, Squadra, will once again supply our uniforms since they are Specialized’s contracted uniform supplier for North America. There will be no changes to the material and construction of the uniforms from our 2010 uniforms except for the possibility of a different Specialized pad. Specialized has notified Squadra of a possible change, and they will receive the details in about two weeks. The good news for 2011 is unit costs. The 2011 order form unit costs are on the average of $2 to $5 less than 2010.

Squadra Size Chart:
http://www.orlandoroadclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Sqaudra-Sizing-Chart.pdf

ORC Uniform Order Form:
http://www.orlandoroadclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/2011-orc-uniform-order-form.xls

http://www.orlandoroadclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/2011-orc-uniform-order-form.pdf

The attached order form is for Squadra, ORC sponsored items only. The club has winter apparel, (long sleeve jerseys, windvests, windjackets, armwarmers), with no sponsor logos for sale. Also, water bottles, socks, caps, t-shirts are for sale. For these items, please get in touch with Dennis Sutherlin or Rich Benton. We will not be ordering club logo gloves this year.

Okay, here are the instructions for ordering:

Please send your filled out order form, (you can enter quantities on the form), and MAIL it with your 50% deposit, (deposit must accompany your form), to our PO Box, (address is on the form).

I can hear some of you saying, “Isn’t the U.S. Postal Service out of business?” No, not yet.

Please mail your orders.

The end date for receipt to our PO box is October 15th. There will be NO CLUB MEETING ON THAT DATE. So, if you are planning to submit your order in person on October 15th, you will be out of luck.

If you do not want to submit an order, but want to wait to purchase inventory from the club stock we will order, that’s OK but you run the possibility of your size not available at the time of purchase. Also, the unit cost for club stock will be $5 more than the prices on this order form.

If you are a ORC Sponsored Rider for 2010, you will be contacted in the next few weeks regarding sponsorship status for 2011. At this time, please do not submit a uniform order for your club kit. However, if you plan to purchase additional uniform items on this order form, please do it at this time.

If all goes according to plan, (order forms received, submit order to Squadra, receive and proof sponsor’s artwork, approve artwork layout with Squadra, etc.), we should receive our uniforms in mid-January.

Now, how about renewing your membership for 2011 at the same time you mail in your uniform order?

If you do it at the same time, your renewal rate is less than waiting until 2011. Please do.

Just like uniform instructions, there are a couple membership renewal instructions:

You must submit a new ORC waiver form when you submit payment. If you are renewing a family membership, all your family members must submit a waiver. If you do not submit a new waiver, I’m sorry to say that I will have to hunt you down.

Also, if there has been a change to your address, phone numbers, etc., please submit a new updated application form.

Both of these forms are available on our website. Just print, fill out and send it with your payment to our PO box.

Thank you for your support in Orlando Road Club, and I hope to see you riding in a 2011 ORC uniform.

Paul Schwartz

ORC Treasurer

===========================================

Club Members:

Attached is a revised 2011 ORC uniform order form. Squadra, our uniform supplier, has decided to manufacture Youth jerseys. These jerseys will be made with the same material, same screening as our Adult jerseys. Only jerseys are available, no shorts. We would need a minimum order of 6 total jerseys to add to our order.

Youth jersey sizing is:

Small/6-8

Medium/8-10

Large/10-12

XLarge/12-14.

Remember, October 15th is your deadline to get your uniform orders with your deposit received to our PO Box.

Thanks
