Final Touches

We should have held the race last night, the weather was perfect, the course was wicked fast, and the weather map didn't look like this:


Today we are heading out to put up ribbon and barriers, all we need now are racers! We are really trying to give a lot back to the racers, the payout isn't as much as we were hoping, just because we weren't sure what attendance would be like. Looks like that has been good this year so we are putting in a preem on everyone's second or third lap. $20 to the first person over the last barrier of a run up, should be interesting! Hopefully we don't see any of this!!
We also have quite a bit of schwag that we are giving out. All the Junior racers are going to get water bottles from Schwinn, stuffed with stickers, and more stickers. Michaels Cycles also cleaned the schwag closet and gave us a box of stuff to hand out. Tonight I will be putting the finishing touches on the trophies. I just need to get the medalians hung in them and we will be set.
Hope to see everyone out tomorrow, looks like we will have true 'cross weather!
