Hey all,

Thanks to everyone that came out to our first team meeting last night, we had an excellent turnout. As a recap for anyone unable to make it, here are the notables:

• We have sponsorships to help you with everything from buying a GU packet to buying an entire new bicycle. Information will go out regarding orders as it becomes available, but contact bike@bu.edu if you have any questions
• In order to take advantage of any deals you must be a dues-paying member of the team ($50 a year for undergrads, $80 for grad students). We will set up a couple collection times, but you can always contact an officer to meet up at another time if need be.
• This year's clothing sponsor will be ChampSys, but the kit design will remain largely unchanged. More information about the order to come soon.
• We will be looking into ordering BU Cycling sweats soon, again more info to come later.
• We have the spin room in FITREC available to us for practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 8:30PM to 10:30PM. Look to the bottom of the email for more info.

Volunteering Efforts (Come to these! They are fun and help out the team greatly!)

Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Day is coming up this Thursday Sept 15th, from 10am-2pm. We are looking for volunteers to help out any time from 9am-2pm. There are always plenty of free give-aways at BPSD, and you would get first dibs on what's available. If you are available at all during that time on Thursday (even just an hour would help) send me an email at preston.buehrer@gmail.com and let me know. Myself and a couple other officers will also be there at various points during the day.

Hub on Wheels will take place on Sunday Sept 25, starting at 8am. Every year we send a group of people to help marshal the event, and those that go always have lots of fun. For volunteering you will receive a free ride packet, a free volunteer t-shirt, a free meal (!!!!), the chance to ride the course for free, and likely many other goodies. And as if that's not enough incentive, we will also give you a free pair of our custom BU Cycling socks! Really, we want to get as many people out there as possible. So if you are available to help out that day, send an email to bike@bu.edu and let us know.

First Spin Practice of the Year

This Thursday we will have our first spin practice of the year! We'll start at 9 and just do a basic spin, everybody is invited. Be sure to bring along some water and maybe an iPod (else you will subjected to my horrible taste in music). This would also be a great time to bring membership dues!

Sorry for the long email. Hope to see you all soon on a ride!
