Anyone who has put on a race or been involved in putting on a race knows how much work goes in. Charlie never missed a beat. He rallied to get the race the State championship which took many calls, emails etc. This was the second year for the race and this year went off better with the exception of scoring which Charlie or any of us involved had nothing to do with. It is up to the USA Cycling officials to calculate the finish list and we had no control. Our biggest sponsor Racing apparel made custom podium signs  which never got used because the officials took too long calculating  the finish and all the racers left.
> The reason for the post is I heard one of the racers who remain unnamed complained that there was no hydration drinks for them at the finish only water. FYI we did have Powerade and water and bannanas but must have run out of Powerade before this racer finished.  FYI: No promotor is responsible to supply the racers with fluids. This person should have had there soigneur at the finish line with whatever fluids they needed to take or if they don’t have a soigneur like most carry some hydration mix so they can re hydrate etc. This is not the responsibility of the promotor and we did have water Powerade and bannanas as a courtesy.  When I was involved in putting on the last stage of the first Tour of California Pro race we did not have any refreshments for the UCI pros there teams did.So rather then complain I would thank Charlie and anyone else involved in promoting racing here in the Land of Enchantment.
