Good time to remind promoters.

Promoters meeting is scheduled for September 11. We will be hammering
out the 2011 calendar then.

One would think that the race organizers would want to do that since it would make it more likely that their event would be successful. Unfortunately some race organizer do not look much past their own event. There are 350+ days of racing on the schedule so some conflict is inevitable but I think it could be better.

dude, you just opened a whole can of worms. now you're gonna get all these e-mails telling you to put on your own race. me and most of the people i ride with feel the same way you do but for some reason most of the people on this board seem to get very offended if you make a suggestion or voice a concern. just wait till the summer when someone asks why there's no raod or mountain bike races going on.
