I go to church, too. And I have two kids.

We try to go to church Saturday evening.

Saturdays are usually full of kids activities like soccer games.

Sunday is big ride day.

Doing it this way seems to be the best way to fit everything in, at least

for me.

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.

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?

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,

Kori
