Launch Party:  Fleet Feet has once again agreed to host a Launch Party for CTC.  The event will take place Thursday March 1st from 6:30 to 8:30 at Fleet Feet (241 Main Street).  Fleet Feet is providing pizza and beverages, and we will have a short program highlighting the club and our planned events for the coming year.  All current and prospective members are invited, so please spread the word.

CTC Gear:  Many of you have asked how to get CTC gear, such as T-shirts, singlets, hats, sweatshirts, etc... .  Well there's good news on that front.  North Rim has agreed to host CTC gear for sale in their store.  We're hoping to have it set up soon, and will update the membership once it's there and ready to go.  North Rim has agreed to handle this for us essentially at cost, so thank you North Rim.

Uniforms and Cycling Kits:  Thank you to all who responded to Sean's survey on uniform and cycling kit needs within the club.  We are still working on this and hope to have an order period open soon.  We'll update the membership soon on this important topic.

2012 Officers:  The current board was elected at the general meeting in December.  Within the board, officer positions have been decided and are posted on the website.

Website Updates:  In addition to updated information on sponsors, member benefits, and officers, you can find a link to a rather humorous Youtube video about funny things triathletes say and an article on basic bike maintenance for triathletes.
