production plan for BW fleece giveaways

Greetings,

What a beautiful weekend. I hope you are all storing up the vitamin D for the short days ahead.

Tomorrow, Liz and Shar are hosting a fleece cutting party to help ramp up production so we have many goodies to distribute at this month's Critical Mass. http://www.thechainlink.org/events/fleece-cutting-party. 

Please chime in on what you think our ratio of balaclavas, ear gaitors and neck gaitors should be. I used to be all about the balaclava, but Alex and Willow opened my eyes to the ear/neck gaitor combo, and I have heard from others that the neck gaitors from recent years (thanks Willow!!) have been helpful.

Also, there has been some talk about doing a little BW presentation before the ride.  If you are interested in helping out, email Julie and Lowell at chair@bikewinter.org.

Thanks!

Gin

Why does anyone call them balaclavas?
Ahem.
The proper term is ninja mask. Awesome awesome ninja masks.

Three hours until cutting time. What should we make the most of: neck warmers, ear warmers or face masks? Balaclavas are slightly more difficult and fabric intensive.

I have a small bag of stuff left over from the last give away that I'd be happy to part with but with Kidical Mass and the Ugly Sweater ride this weekend I don't see having much time to make any new ones. I believe the whole bag is gaitors.

Let me know where I should drop them off.

Great. I'll be in touch about how I can get a few. Probably time for another party!
