You da man, Brad!

River City Bicycles Cyclocross Crusade

Race #3 at Rainier High School

OK here's the scoop. After much tribulation, we have decided what we're
gonna do about staging each race. I'm not not even sure if I understand how
it will work, but here we go.

First, there will be a random number drawing from 0-9 first thing in th
morning. That draw will be posted at registration. The last digit in your
race number will correlate to the number draw. For example, if the first
number that gets pulled is 7 and your race number is 547 then you will be in
the first group to be called up.

Second, the start chute will be closed off. It will not do you any good to
get there 1/2 hour before your race starts, you won't be able to line up.

Third, 10 minutes before your race is scheduled to start, I will call to the
line all riders who currently have points in the series (about 25 people).
After that, I will call the numbers up in order of the mornings random draw.

One consolation for the group that gets the last draw is that will be the
weeks beer number. The least we can do.

It'll probably be a bit confusing this first week, but that's how we're
gonna do it. Any complaints can be directed to your new vice president
whoever he/she may be. Stop with the smack, I grew up in Alaska.

Also, there will be two start chutes. We will line up one category next to
the other. i.e. Single speed/B.

Onto a new topic. The Rainier H.S. booster club is going to charge $5 per
vehicle parking. This $ goes directly to scholarships and doesn't have
anything to do with the permit fee the Cross Crusade pays to Rainier School
Dist. Cmon, quit bitching, it's less than a tube.

Last piece of business. Rainier H.S. is as you might expect, a no alcohol
venue. For this reason, I won't be bringing last weeks prizelist. I will
be bringing ALL of the beer to Astoria for the Halloween weekend. Sorry.

After a public urination scandal at Villebois last weekend, Team Beer has
rented their own personal porta potty. Pretty good idea actually. They
will probably except bribes.

I want to extend a huge thanks to Guy Smith for all the work he has put in
to making this race happen. Rainier is probably one of the best cross
courses any of us will ever race on. Oh by the way, for all y'all that have
been complaining about too few barriers, the McTarnahans Six Pack will be
back this weekend.
