Jersey Order Deadline is May 15, 2023
The Santa Cruz Randonneurs invite all to purchase cycling clothing designed to make you stand out on the road during daylight. This includes a “Conspicuity Kit” of jersey and shorts rendered by the Voler cycling apparel company in the fluorescent yellow often referred to as HiViz:

We want you to be warm while stylish with our new red “Wool Kit.” The jerseys are available in two fabric weights in short and long sleeves and feature retroreflective arm bands. Wool bib shorts with features developed specifically for riding brevets (retroreflective leg bands, a bib strap quick release, and the outstanding Paris distance pad) are a nod to clothing that served us well in the past. Matching wool arm, knee, and leg warmers are available. All of the items are designed and manufactured by the wool cycling clothing company Cima Coppi.
The late Bruce Berg was an outstanding randonneur and mentor to many of us. Those headed to Paris soon would do well to heed the advice he gave to a sopping wet and freezing rider he picked up and drove to the finish of a brevet: “Wool, wool, WOOL! It is wool, period!”
Next year the Santa Cruz Randonneurs will have the first running of a route named in Bruce’s honor. La Voie Berg will traverse some of the Big Sur Coast he so enjoyed riding.

Note that you have the option to have “La Voie Berg” embroidered onto the jersey’s left sleeve. Most folks purchasing the bib shorts will be able to pick from the size options in the size guide. Custom tailoring to accommodate your measurements is available for the bib shorts if you don’t fit one of the standard sizes. Simply provide your exact waist, hip, thigh, height, and weight numbers in the Comment box on the shipping page and ask for adjustments.
Bonne route! Jack Holmgren
