Luciano,

The main point behind the city even bringing up the idea is to have
the same type of program we have at Alpenrose. Elite only programs
are great for one or two days a year, we need a program just like we
have now. Wednesday night beginners class and the open ride at lunch
should be as big as elite training. Do you think we could have a
better place for a kids program?
