Golden Event Planning
Thanks everyone for your kind words and support...I have been in tears for
the past hour. I had no idea that OBRA was a racing organization.
Maybe someday you will want to come to Goldendale for a race...I would be
honored to help set one up for you.

Hey don?t worry about it.
This mailing list is not the best place to enlist participants for a ?ride?
event, especially now that racing season is upon us. We are all focusing on
racing now, and this is a mailing list for bike racers. I think your
audience should be more along the lines of the recreational rider.
I suggest you find an alternate source of leads. I think the Cycle Oregon
crowd would eat this ride up, so maybe try their forum or something like
that. Also maybe Bicycling magazine?s site ? I think they might have a
forum there, too.
I?m sure you?ll have much better luck when you target the recreational rider
Good luck.

Oh my gosh...I am truly sorry and apologize if I have offended anyone with
my bike ride information. I have worked very hard planning and promoting
this bike ride and thus far we only have about 10 riders signed up.
This is my/our first time at trying to promote a bike ride in Goldendale.
Obviously, I have a lot to learn about promoting bike ride events...My face
is beet red and I am terribly embarrassed. Please accept my sincere apology
If any of you can offer me some corrective criticism on trying to promote
another bike ride...I would certainly appreciate your input. I need all the
help I can get.
Once again...
I am truly sorry,
