Pollock, EuanX A
Gotta agree with George on the religion thing - cyclist can't generally
be religous otherwise the thousands of dollars spent on
spandex/carbon/Ti/etc. would be used to feed the poor and hungry of the
world!!
Sunday races are good as (for me anyway) Ican bask in the glory of
coming 54th in 4/5's and spend the day rubbing my always sore legs on a
Monday at work, rather than on one of my few days off!

I think what Sunday was intended to be depends upon your religious
inclinations. I think it is presumptuous of you to suggest that your
person beliefs reflect the purpose of Sunday for all humankind.
Nevertheless, I understand your point regarding holding most races on
Sunday.

I am a person who is religious and who goes to Church on Sunday and I
would personally like to see more Saturday races.
As has already been pointed out - don't stack them at the beginning or
end of the season, but spread them out as evenly as possible.
Are cyclists generally religious? Well, that depends on how fast you're
descending that wet, slippery hill with the stop sign at the bottom as
cross traffic passes by :)
Personally, I think it's a shame that Sunday has become just another day
of the week and not the "day of rest and spiritual growth" as it was
intended to be.
Michael

As a parent of several Junior racers Sunday racing is great. Most
juniors have other sports they play on Sat. for their schools such as
soccer, basketball etc.
I think the solution is a balance of Sat/Sun races.

Sounds good as long as we don't wind up with yet more races stacked from
late February through May.
Remember the tread from a few months ago discussing why is the race
calender so heavily weighted to the earliest part of the season and goes
through the doldrums just when the weather is at it's nicest?

How about some Saturday races for a change. Doesn't anyone go to
church
on Sunday anymore? Bunch of heathens anyway :)
Actually that brings up a good point. Are cyclists generally
religious
or not???

In an attempt to decide which races to focus on (since
I would really
like to do all of them but know that's not a
sustainable approach) I'm
wondering what kinds of MTB series are out there this
year, and which
one offers the best prize money. Yep, I'm not looking
for any more
trophies on my mantel, just going straight for the
mercenary incentive.
Of course I'll also be weighing the amount of single
track in
proportion to the distance to drive (and conflicting
road races), but
the dollars will be a very influential factor. Mike?
Randy? Petr?
What are you serving up this year?
Looking forward to it.
Cheers,
