From the desk of the President

At our committee meeting earlier in the month, we decided to work with our clothing partner MVMNT again to open up the shop, and offer our members access to not only the original CRMCC jersey, but also the second most popular design when we took it to a vote three years ago. We hope this colour variation to our kit will spice up our racing peloton a bit.

Congratulations to all of the riders who contested the time trials on the weekend. I saw that there was some serious aero-bling out there, which in many cases attracted trophy bling.  Thank you to the volunteers who staffed this race. We look forward to seeing you all out at the next Sutton Driver Training Centre race, where we hope to debut our newly purchased race countdown clock.

Club President

From our clothing partner MVMNT

Dear CRMCC Members,

MVMNT are stoked to announce that the online order portal for 2024 CRMCC cycling kit is now open! This is your chance to stock up on fresh jerseys, bibs, and apparel to keep you riding in style all season long.

New Jersey Design

MVMNT are excited to unveil the sleek new jersey design for the 2024 season. The bold and vibrant colour scheme combines a bright turquoise blue body with striking reddish orange on the right side. The “CRMCC RACE FOREVER EST 1993” text prominently displays the club’s name and establishes its long-standing history. Made from high-quality, technical fabric, this jersey is designed for optimal performance and comfort while cycling.

Classic Design

This will be still available for those who prefer the classic design. The older jersey design will also be available for purchase during the order window.

Sizing

This year’s order will feature the same popular sizing options as our previous kits – both the Classic and Race cut fits for jerseys and bib shorts, ensuring the perfect fit for every rider.  Please note that certain products have Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs). If the MOQ for a specific product is not met, MVMNT will contact you to provide an alternative solution. For example, if the uptake on a specific jersey isn’t great, we can swap your order to a jersey that had better uptake.

New Products In addition to our core kit pieces, we’ve added some new items to the lineup:

Order Window

The online order portal will be open from June 17, 2024 to June 30, 2024 at https://mvmnt.club/collections/crmcc-custom-portal. Be sure to get your order in during this 2-week period.

Delivery Dates

Delivery once the portal closes, please allow 5-6 weeks for production and delivery. All items will be shipped directly to the mailing address you provide during checkout. Expected arrival dates are between August 4, 2024 and August 11, 2024.

Any Questions?

If you have any questions about sizing, designs, or the ordering process, please email info@mvmnt.club and the team will be happy to assist.
