I tried resubmitting to the Herald but it didn't work. I've reported the problem. We ARE up on the Grand Forks and Olympia (Winnipeg) websites though.

I was talking to Andy tonight and he seemed to think holding the third race at TRSP would be a cool idea. We can always ask people at the first race what they think of that idea. Thing is, we would need insurance, crap.

Another idea he mentioned (and he probably isn't the only one) would be to run the course backward the second week to use the same space but make it new and exciting. I'm definitely down for that.

Plantains · « **Reply #63 on:** October 20, 2010, 12:11:51 AM »

Well the course will certainly be changed from week to week. We'll be moving obstacles, and changing some routing around. While I tend to agree that running a race at TR would be awesome... I just don't think we can commit the manpower to make that happen this year. If this event is well received (which it seems it is), then we can only move forward with it for next year.

While we should (and always will) welcome peoples suggestions, I can only hope that they understand that we are really trying here. These events aren't us just half assing some things. We're really putting in quite alot of effort. Which I'm sure they realize.

Still though... I think it would be great to have an MTB series AND a cx series. The cx series would split time between the greenway's 2-4 courses, and TR's courses.

Once we go USAC TR is basically perfect, because we'll have the insurance.

Just a heads up -- we'll be looking for volunteers to help keeping people from getting demolished crossing the race course AND show some encouragement for the people racing. If you don't intend to race and would like to volunteer, please contact me so I can get your name on a list. I'll be sending out an email to the whole list soon to advertise the race and find some volunteer support--perhaps your significant other (or that person you've been longing for all semester) would like to come out and help?

We'll also need additional volunteers to help set up the course (lots of turns=lots of tape and stakes), so if you're inclined in that direction, we can use your help.

Volunteers need to be there by 1 PM (if helping during the race) or even earlier (if helping set up). We will let you know.

If you're one of the people who is thinking about racing in the spring (or anytime in the future), you are strongly encouraged to participate in the race. As we've said before, we'll do our best to get you a bike if you don't have one, so that is not an excuse! Post here and ask, PM me or Plaintains or Sanders or Alaska Unicyclist or anyone else you know has been around and let us know what you're thinking.

Do we want to rent the warming house? I will try to find out what that will cost/if it's possible.

Plantains · « **Reply #70 on:** October 21, 2010, 05:22:49 PM »

No. The only thing it would be used for would be registration since it isn't located anywhere that would enable us to use it.

Also I have 1 confirmed volunteer. Most likely others.

I just made a post about how the scoring is going to work--does it make sense to everyone, or should we potentially modify it so it goes deeper? The chart shown is from the USAC rulebook.

Plantains · « **Reply #72 on:** October 23, 2010, 01:29:53 PM »

I think it makes perfect sense. If we need to make it any deeper, we can modify it on race day.

Alaska Unicyclist · « **Reply #73 on:** October 23, 2010, 05:27:25 PM »

makes sense to me too beeker

Plantains · « **Reply #74 on:** October 27, 2010, 12:42:27 AM »

I am now formally taking requests for music. Unless Beek was planning something. Ted said I should do it.

Sal Atticum · « **Reply #75 on:** October 27, 2010, 09:11:08 AM »

Works for me. I would like to contribute, but I realize that I have no time. Go for it.

For volunteers so far, we have:
Ted (officiating)
Me (officiating)
Joe (everything)
Dave's friend (during race?)
Ben (helping set up)
Dave (helping set up)

Kou, did you find a bike to ride yet?

If anyone who is racing wants to help set the course up beforehand, that's cool too, just let me know so I have some sort of count. Otherwise it will be Ted and Dave and me doing it.

I checked anyway. The weather looks okay so I think we can do without it. This is good info for the last race, depending on whether it is snowing or not.

The Riverside Community Room is available for Sunday. The charge is $80.00 for the day plus a $25.00 key deposit.

You would need to come down to our office at 1210 7th Ave S to complete a special use permit, pay the fee, and pick up the key for that day.
