Swami's Spring Kit Order!Many of you let us know that you love the 2024 kit the way it is and want to order more of it. Others have asked for the 2024 style but in summer colors. Faced with the dilemma of which to go with, we decided to make everyone happy and do both! The Spring kit order will include many of the styles that were available in the Fall kit order plus new summer-themed jerseys, military versions, and more. Be looking this month in your inbox and on our Facebook page for the the official announcement of the kit ordering window! |

Cadence Parking LotFor those of you who park at Cadence for the Saturday rides: Cadence has asked us not to park in the spaces that are in front of the store along the fence on the right side of the building (the side closest to Moto Deli). Please park in the spots on the side that are behind the building, or on Melrose Ave, so that the spaces are not occupied most of the morning and can be used by Moto Deli, Queenstage, and Cadence customers. |
