Update: Club kits are in! If you purchased items from the Verge Sport Team Store, you should have received an email from Sharon with information regarding early pickup options. Check the calendar for early distribution Tuesday morning (Nov 19) at Battlefield.

The team store is still open, so if you missed the initial ordering window for group shipping, you are still able to place individual orders, but at a lesser discount of %10. Verge also continues to offer 20% off on select retail items. Orders placed going forward will ship directly to you, for which you will be charged shipping costs.

We hope you are as excited as we are to finally begin placing orders for our new club kit from Verge Sport! The store is now open at:

Check your email for a message from Debbie Beck. You’ll need the password that is included in that email.

Verge Sport was chosen in part for their “Always Open Team Store”. You’ll be able to order club kit at anytime throughout the year. That said, you’ll want to take advantage of the initial two week quantity discount window. During this time, which begins now and runs through Nov 1, all items are discounted 20%. On top of that, all orders will be shipped in bulk to the club. This saves members some hefty overseas shipping costs.

After that initial discount period, you’re on your own for shipping costs. Items will still be discounted, but at a lesser rate of 10%.

Debbie Beck has been offering fit kit sessions at recent club rides. You’ll have additional opportunity to try jerseys on for size at the Fall Social on October 19.
