Reminders for this weekend

rondot@spiritone.com

2013-10-19

Brian,
That makes sense (keep those teeth away from me!), but I still see riders
lifting their bikes on their left....and not just beginners. Remember this
is a very small number, but have seen it all my years of racing. There are
probably many lefties like you lifting the bike on their right side. Of
course this shows how superior your brains are.....moving back and forth
with different complex actions each day. Lefties Rock!!!
Maybe Lefties even rule the world. What do you think?

It has more to do with proximity of the drive train than left/ right
handedness.

Left side is fine....BUT not all people pick their up on the right side.
Many left handed people pick them up on the left side...but there are far
fewer left handed people so left sure makes sense.

A few reminders for this weekend's cross race in Canby:
- Proof of OBRA membership is required at registration. Please
remember your license, or you will need to purchase a one-day
license. Remember to bring your Cross Crusades number, too.
- Bring water. The hoses lying in the mud are not safe for drinking.
We will have bottled water, hot drinks, and smoothies for sale.
Muscle Milk will also be giving out free samples, sometime after Noon.
- Gates open at 7:30, registration opens at 8
- FYI If you need to contact me, please call/text my cell phone at
(503) 869-4970 or email randy at word web design (dot com). I will
not be checking this wordsports email address today while working on
the course, but I do check the wordwebdesign emails on my phone.
- Which side to pin numbers on? We have a couple different finish
line configurations that we're voting on today, so we won't know
which side numbers go on until later this afternoon.
- Some have asked about pre-riding the course today. Officially the
answer is no since the kart track will be in use. Unofficially you
can check out portions of the course, at your own risk, from 5pm to
6pm today. However, that's at the height of rush hour traffic, and we
would prefer everyone just wait until tomorrow. If you do come out
today, stay away from the kart track, some of the karts are hitting
80mph, so please stay behind the fencing.
PS Prize packages in some categories tomorrow include $40 gift
certificate for Pat's Acres, $40 gift certificate for Zamp Helmets,
and a $500 gift certificate for the new made in USA iKart from Word
Racing. There will be other prizes as well, including Bortolami's
gift certificates & Nutella, and we have medals for the top 3 in
every category.
Looking forward to a great event. See you all tomorrow.
