No hot spot.

You mean you all weren't riding that fast the whole time? ;-)

Hi Jeff,

Thank you, the volounteers, the officials and the weather for the fantastic
race. I have just one comment/question.

It wasn't clear if there was a hot spot at BB#1 for the Cat 3's. It wasn't
mentioned during the start line announcements, and I am pretty sure there
was no bell. However, there was a lot of sprinting going on at the end of
lap 2. Was there a hot spot? Someone please chime in if I missed the
announcement and/or the bell.

Thanks,

Chris

Thank you volunteers, thank you officials, thank you riders for an awesome
BB#1. Following are a few updates as we prepare for BB#2.

- Pre-Registered Riders. NO LONG LINE next race. All you need to do is
check-in at registration when you arrive.....no paper work, no exchange of
$, this will be a verbal check that you are present on race day.

- Un-registered Riders. We will have extra registration staff on hand with
multiple lines so you wont have to wait as long.

- Course Direction. Due to really bad road conditions in the outer lane we
will maintain course direction and not reverse direction as advertised in
the flyer.

- Bicycleattornery.com Men 1/2 Hot Spot
Cash. Thank you to the Bicycle Attorney for donating $200 winner-take-all
cash money for the Men 1/2 hot spots. BB#1 winners were Evan Elken and
?....not sure yet who won the second hot spot but when I find out, they have
$100 coming. Look for more cash hot spots next week....

- Volunteers. Please confirm by replying to this email if you are interested
in volunteering for BB#2. I need to know if you are racing and when, and
what position you prefer. Compensation is free BB entry or 2 free PIRs +
parking fee.

- Field Size. When it comes to pelotons, SIZE MATTERS. So, be aware that all
size challenged pelotons (less than 6 riders) will be combined with other
fields.

- Comments Welcome. Please reply with comments, questions, recommendations,
offers, etc...

stay tuned for more....
