                    For our first annual team store event we have short sleeve jerseys, long sleeve jerseys and vests for sale (see examples and pricing below). Members order directly from the Channel Island Bicycle Club Team Store. Your payment will be processed directly by Primal and there are two options for delivery.

                       1) Choose bulk ship: the shipping is free and items are picked up by members at club ride events and meetings.

                       2) Choose drop ship: the shipping is $10 and items are shipped direct to your door. Note, if you order more items it will remain at $10.

                    Bonus: if you order two or more items we have $5 off coupon over orders over $100. Use code CIBCX26

                    Primal is the supplier we have used in the past. If you know your size from previous orders you can trust the fit. For members who've never order before, Primal says their clothing fits true to size—no "Euro sausage casing" fit here!

                    Riding at the Rock - Morro Bay, CA

                    Many of you, by now, have heard that we’ve selected a series of rides in the Morro Bay area for our out-of-town fall event, which we have named Riding at the Rock.  These are the same rides that we had planned for Spring Fling earlier this year, which unfortunately we cancelled due to forecasted rain. 

                    Those who did last October’s ride from Pismo to Morro Bay will find a familiar ride.  But we also have plans to ride northward to Cambria and Ragged Point.  Two of our ride days include options (longer ride, shorter ride; more climbing; less climbing), with ride stops designed to connect all the riders. We’re planning something for everyone!  The first ride will take place on Thursday October 15th, with additional rides on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday the 18th.

                    Please note: Registration NOT required for non-riding spouses & companions.

                    When you complete the registration form please select the rides that's right for you. Ride w/GPS links are below for more details on each ride.

                    Rides List:

                    THURSDAY RIDE – MORRO BAY to AVILA BEACH (44.9mi 2,033ft)

                    Important Ride Safety Information:

                    Helmets are required on all rides. 

                    Group Ride Etiquette: Pass other riders on LEFT and please announce "on your left." Do NOT overlap wheels and please NO "snot rockets." When stopping in a pace line, please pull over to the right while using hand signals and announce "slowing" and "stopping."

                    Please be aware, be alert and always look twice before turning or passing. Communicate with other cyclists regarding road hazards. Only pass other cyclists on the left if there are no approaching vehicles.

                    Bicycling can be a hazardous activity because we ride on roads with cars. We recommend members wear bright colors and use front and rear lights to improve their visibility.

                    Please remember to bring a spare tube, patch kit, pump, cell phone, route map, food and sufficient water. Always let club members know any time you decide to alter the route during the ride. Always ride with a club member, never alone.  

                    For great information cycling safety check out these links: Bicycle Safe and League of American Cyclists Ridesmart. 

                    Be careful out there and keep cycling fun!
