Orders are due by February 12, 2012.

ORDER ONLINE

The 2012 Glotman Simpson clothing pre order will be available soon online, with the product expected to arrive in April. New for this year, we will be ordering our clothing from Castelli. 

Please note that Castelli uses Euro sizing - this means that you can expect your clothing to fit at least one size smaller than the 2011 Sugoi kit. The size chart is provided below for reference. We also have a fit kit available for the next three weeks for club members to check out the new fabrics and get a feel for the fit of the clothing.

Flanders, the Flemish region of Belgium is infamous for serving up the harshest cycling conditions- where driving rain, cobbled non-category climbs, snow and ice are the norm for its 6,000 racing clubs. This place, the pounding heart of a passionate cycling nation where the most revered Spring Classics unfold, is the cold steel anvil where flesh and bone are forged into the greatest racers of all time. This is Belgium, home to Ridley Bikes, and it is here where our products are engineered, hammered into raw form by the roads themselves, and where we refine them in competition.

This is Ridley. We are Belgium.

It's no mystery that GSC members can raise money for cancer research, in fact this year alone we have raised $125,000 with help from all of you.  That is huge and something to be very proud of.

For the month of November...err Movember we will be doubling our efforts to also raise much needed awareness and funds for Prostate Cancer research.  Why you ask? Well, so we can avoid this.
