With OT Days over I
thought I'd share some things from the weekend. First off the Hillclimb
was great. Turn out was a little off from last year. Down 8-10 riders
or so. Everything went off with out a hitch. Things to improve upon
for next year are as follows -
Clearly marked Finish line.
At least three people at the top with pen and paper writing down times.
Then some one communicating that down.
Use a computer and spread sheet.
Promote Promote Promote.
The
parade was fun and a great way to get some exposure. I waned to pass
on a huge thank you to all who waited and rode in the parade. Things to
do differently for next year -
Banners on Trailers.
Candy with our clubs web address on it.
More riders.
Meeting
following the parade was great. Thanks Allison for hosting and
grilling up some great food for all of us. We discussed the hillclimb
and parade which have already been discussed. Next thing was setting a
time for the Dirk Bowman Memorial ride. For those of you who didn't
know Dirk he was a very avid cyclist in the area who passed recently
while riding. We have a pretty good idea of the route he usually took.
It's a nice 20mile ride on mixed dirt and pavement. The date for the
ride will be September 6th. Time is still to be discussed. Next up was
a Cancer ride. Also to be done in the fall. This one will be for
everyone of all ages. More to come as things get figured out. What
wasn't discussed was time for our August meeting. I'm good with either
the 9th or 16th. What's better for everyone? Please let me know.
Thanks
Garrett
