Re: Racing on Sundays

GEE Duh! I totally forgot about from the promoters

view how course marking and race set up play a role in

Sat races too...that is HUGE...you really do need most

of a day to get ready for a race.



Another reason for better turn out is bike shop

employee's that race...lots of shops are open on

Saturday, not nearly as many on Sunday, so the shop

guys can race easier on Sunday...there are a lot more

shop guys/gals racing then you'd think...plus a lot

more places in general are closed on Sunday, so they

even effects your race helpers. I can get way more

help on Sunday then Saturday

 From a purely racing and promoting standpoint (no

races! Here's why:



*work hard all wk and come home beat friday eve

(like most of us do)...no worries, sleep in, do an

easy ride, and pack...you'll be ready to race Sunday

morning

*when I put on my MTB race, Sat was a full day of

course marking, reminding volunteers,

pre-registration, getting organized...



These two scenarios from both perspectives make

SUnday preferable...
