Got a call from my club friend saying his buddy had a metric shite ton of merchandise left over from Richmond 2015 and he was practically giving away, and he was. (why he sat on the stuff and waited 6 months to push a clearance sale, I have no clue) Pretty much everything $1 or less. Here is 'most' of what I got for under $20 total. I ran out of photo room.



Some items were free, like the lapel pins below, which is what I am offering if you are interested. These were retail $10. More than I would pay, but I am frugal...



The inventory count I have going left to right... 8-11-11-10 - 40 total

I am posting it here because PM'ing everyone is a pain and I'd forget someone. So here are a few things I'd ask of you.

Have a genuine interest in pro cycling and follow it regularly. If you ride but don't really follow bike racing andt want one 'just cuz it's free' or so you aren't left out, do me a favor and please pass on requesting. I'd rather avoid the hassle of packing and hauling to post on my dime if there is little value to you.

Depending on request volume, I'd like to start with 1-2 pins per person. Who knows, maybe no one cares about a silly lapel pin! If so, I don't mind sending one of each. I want to be fair to everyone though.

Now what I would 'like' is for someone in the UK, Mark-Jason-Clive++, one, maybe 2 persons specifically (if you are interested), to allow me to send a package to you for redistribution to the rest of the what-I-hope-are regional guys with low shipping. Cuz I am part lazy and loathe filling out customs forms for international shipping, plus the line at the post office is always backed up. Always. Whoever is interested in that role, I'll add in some extra stuff like one of each pin, a koozie for your can drink and maybe a tshirt I wear mostly 2XL cuz of my height. I do have one 3XL I bought just cuz it was $1 but nothing smaller than 2XL and these shirts looks like they will shrink, otherwise I can only offer a few of the plastic cups.

With that said, maybe the ship-to-uk & reship idea isn't worth doing from a cost perspective, if so, I'll suck it up and mail individually, just don't gripe at the shipping speed.

I'll mail to everyone stateside like Jill, Noel, Dwight (if interested) and any stragglers outside of North America.

Sorry to be long winded but I think this is a good opportunity to share some free stuff with my online cycling friends and I hate to see the stuff go to waste and by talking to the guy, I think he's already had 2 yard sales before he pushed it to local ride groups to get the word out. The impression I got was he is ready to discard the leftovers and be done with it. And personally, I love free bike stuff. Especially from such an event.

Interest, comments, suggestions are welcome! TIA
