TT tanks!


Veloers,

Back from Okoboji. I wanted to let everyone that volunteered at the TT to know how grateful I was for your help. We COULD NOT have done this without you. You know who you are, so I don't want to name names, but I thought the race went smoothly. Traffic flowed smoothly, with the exception of the bozos in the pickups who took out cones and scared referees and cyclists. Luckily, we got their plates and turned them into the sheriff. Georgia's pictures are awesome. Ted looks good in each picture, btw. The turnaround point was clearly marked, thanks to Joe, Steevo and Jackie's new signs. Rob resisted throwing down with an irate redneck. Way to show restraint Rob.
Dave handled the bike adjustments for juniors and other tweaks for racers. Chrissy kept oncoming traffic happy. Randy handled all the scoring pressure without cracking, supreme effort. Joe Savoie pitched in on prerace registration. Gracias.
April and Todd kept traffic at the finish line flowing smoothly.

Another big thank you to referees Nancy and Kevin, especially for their patience at the end during scoring.

Obviously, the post race scoring/tabulating was a nightmare. I've some ideas to clean thing up, under the assumption we host the TT again next year.

The online registration will not have the option to sign up as a Master 45 or 55. Just sign up by category, period. We'll fish out the Masters later from the individual cats.

Also, just give one medal in 45 and 55 to the overall Master winner, for each category. No 2nd and 3rd places.

So, while this is all fresh in our minds, send me your ideas for making it run smoother next year.

Again, a big hearty THANK YOU to all volunteers.
