12:30 – MENS 1/2/3 :53 MIN RACE

This will help address some of the problems we had with scoring last year by having a more evenly distributed race load. This format also provides more time between races to have results sorted and posted.

I felt that putting the 3 men in with the 1/2’s will help keep more spectators around for the last race of the day. This should also help the progression of more racers into the elite category as they will have a real view of how they fare against the best.

SO IF YOU WANTED TO MOVE UP FROM THE 4′S TO THE 3/4′S YOU WILL NEED TO REQUEST AN UPGRADE FROM USAC TO CATEGORY 3 (AS THERE IS NO MORE 3/4 RACE). IF YOU FINISHED IN THE TOP 5 IN YOUR CATEGORY LAST YEAR YOU NEED TO MOVE UP.

…is history. The powers that be have informed me that Prattville is not a go. This means that two of the staple clubs for Bamacross are gone. I’ll have to do some shuffling, but we will replace that race with something in the area. Careful what you wish for, I suppose. I’ve wanted a series that was B’ham central and I guess I’m getting it, like it or not. Now to find another venue…solve a problem gain a problem. Of course this is just life, eh?

It’s time to get Cooper Green up and running. I’m planning a long workday out there on Sunday starting early, 8:30. If you have a weedeater or lawnmower, bring it. Gloves and rakes will be needed. Ride and refresh afterwards.

I received approval for Cooper Green Park this morning!!! So, here is the mystery venue for the October 3rd opener. I will need a hand in the coming weeks to clear and groom the course. If anyone has access to a riding mower, that would make things go a bit quicker. Some pruning, raking, rock removing, etc.. Will need to mow some sections several times to get the surface nice and tight.

Booyah!

there are some obvious ones here…

I’m doing 20 custom cycling caps for sell this year. They will be by Lucie at luce goods www.lucegoods.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/lucegoods/sets/72157623916013018/ they will be wicked awesome and they will go fast. $30 gets you a major style boost on or off the bike.
