Fwd: [Foothill Cycle Club: 2753] Roy Francis

Hi FCC, Sorry i have been running around and I will certainly share more once I Get back, but in the meantime, Lucia did reach out to me, and although she appreciates all the messages that she has been getting, she did want some time to grieve and ask that anyone who would like to relay any message to her and Marina to go through me. Would you be able to relay this to everyone? Thanks, Andy andytarat@gmail.com On Sat, Oct 31, 2026 at 2:12 PM Richard Ryon < richryon@hotmail.com > wrote: Andy, I wasn't best friends with Roy, but I am saddened to hear of his passing. Do you know what happened to him, bike accident, sickness, etc.? Do you know anything regarding a remembrance ceremony or anything like that? ...

[Foothill Cycle Club: 2748] Jerseys, Jackets and shorts - Oh My!!

The order store has been extended one week until midnight Monday Nov 2nd. This may be the final time that we will offer this kit style so if you are planning to order, now is the time Below is a note from Voler regarding bottoms: If there's any way we can add a few more bottoms to the order, that would be great. One thing to keep in mind is that, with the exception of our Pro bottoms, our other bottoms no longer use heat transfers. Because of that, we now have a yearly minimum requirement for heat-transfer bottoms. Any additional bottoms would need to be Black Label or Peloton Series bibs or shorts with a chamois to help satisfy that requirement. Don't delay. The order store will close by midnight Monday 11/2/26. Brian Cox  ...
