Hey FulGaz riders,

Hope you’ve had a good week. Time for another FulGaz Friday!
(Hard to believe it’s already the 20th edition, time flies.)

First off, a big thank you for all the supportive messages and comments following the last week’s quarterly special. And of course, thanks for all testimonials you’ve been sending in. They’ve been a joy to read and watch and as mentioned, they’ll play a big role in our community-led marketing as we head into the indoor season so keep them coming!

Now, about the FulGaz kits. We’re already in touch with Santini and on track to open pre-orders in September as planned. Just to clarify, as Klem also mentioned in this week’s Fulgazette, the free kits are for video testimonials only and will go to first 100 riders who’ve submitted or will submit one. That wasn’t initially clear from last week’s announcement (my bad) but it’s now updated. That said, if you’ve already sent in a text testimonial and would like to be eligible (we’d love that), feel free to submit a 15-30 second clip to support@fulgaz.com. We’re holding your spot! You can check out an example we’ve put together here.

On the content side, we’re full steam ahead getting the August ride drop ready. There’s been new footage coming in and it’s great to hear that many of you are already working on new rides, this is much appreciated. As mentioned last week we’re shaping a contributor rewards programme with more details to come in the weeks ahead.

On the development side, internal testing for the FulGaz Members portal backend changes is ongoing. We’re getting really close to wrapping that up. Hiring is progressing well and we expect to have a fully assembled product team by September. In the meantime, we’re working on the roadmap for the indoor season app release.

That’s it for this week, thanks for reading these Friday updates, stay fit and keep riding!
