2011 AAVC Team Clothing Order

Place your 2011 team clothing orders now! We are ordering clothing from Hincapie Sportswear again and sizing is the same as 2010 (with a few more big and small sizes available—kids through 3XL). We will use the same design (general layout, colors, panels) as 2010 with only minor changes. And we've managed to decrease the prices on jerseys and bibshorts for 2011!

Orders can be placed and paid for online at the same time this year rather than having to wait for separate invoicing like last season. Please visit the order page [link removed, orders closed] to place your online order. If you prefer to pay by check, please visit the order page [link removed, orders closed], read the info, and use the hardcopy order form link to submit your order and payment.

All orders are due by Tuesday, December 14, 2010, with payment in full (update on 12/15/10: orders are now due by Sunday, Dec. 19). This will likely be the only clothing order for the 2011 season, so if you're interested in getting clothes for next season, it is recommended you take advantage of this order. Delivery is expected sometime in March, and we'll share a more specific timeframe once notified by Hincapie.

As is usual, we need to have a minimum order on all items, so in the event we do not have the minimum of 10 items requested for a particular item you order, you will be contacted to see if you want a similar item (e.g. a short sleeve version instead of long sleeve) or if you would like a refund on the unavailable item. We will provide updates during the three weeks that orders are being accepted so you know the quantity of items being ordered.

If you have any questions, please contact Lucas Wall.

Huron River Drive repairs continue

A few notes below from the Washtenaw County Road Commission prove updates about work on Huron River Drive. If you're out enjoying the great November weather forecasted in the next few days, you might want avoid the road work. If the weather holds much longer, though, you'll soon be able to enjoy some great improvements!

The road work along Huron River Drive between Zeeb Road and Tubbs Road is progressing nicely. This past week specific trees were removed, the bank stabilization work just west of East Delhi Road was completed, a cross-road culvert in the same area was replaced, many of the cross-road culverts were extended in preparation for the shoulder widening and all of the culverts were cleaned out to improve drainage.

Today, the road surface was milled up in two areas. The first area is from the easterly entrance of Loch Alpine to east of Boyden Creek. The second area is east of East/North Delhi Road to Tubbs Road. The purpose of the milling is to remove bad material prior to paving and it was necessary to perform this work prior to the shoulder widening. Currently, the shoulder widening work is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday and the final paving is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday of next week. All work, of course, is weather dependent. In the meantime, traffic will be maintained on the milled surface. The milled surface is uneven and will support vehicle traffic but may be difficult for cyclists using Huron River Drive. Unfortunately, with the limited number of construction days remaining this season, it was necessary to take advantage of good weather days and schedule this work accordingly.
