The Alpenrose Challenge is coming up.    Lots of fast racers on the track

and standing room crowds is the goal. Many of the fastest bike track racers

need support in order to come to this event since sponsor support for track

racing is a pretty rare item. I am looking for people to sponsor riders for

this event. Often just $100-200 will make the difference to convince a

rider to travel to the event. If you let me know who you would like to see

and how much you could give in support I will contact that rider to let him

know we want him here. You can identify any specific rider that you want.

If you have contact information to help me that would be great but I can try

to find them if you don't. Here are some suggested names:



Becky Quinn - US Worlds team member, 2004 Elite Track Scratch Race

National Champion

Josiah Ng - Malaysian Worlds and Olympic team member

Erin Mirabella - Bronze Medalist Points Race Athens Olympics and prior

Alpenrose Challenge competitor

Jame Carney - Long standing top US track rider



All of the above riders have already contacted me so we know they are

interested and will likely show up with just a little encouragement. If you

need some other potential names let me know.



In the past a few people have been very generous with support this way. It

would be great if people could step up and help individual name riders make

it to the Alpenrose Challenge this year to make it the best one to date.

Let me know who you want to see here and how much you can put towards that.
