[NMCycling] TNC replacement

[hawke morgan via Bike-racers]

Hello,

We tentatively have about 6 Tuesdays covered.  Anyone want to pick up just one?  We could shorten the series a little too if necessary.  

Thanks,

I would like to make clear that the clubs running a crit or two would do this under my permit and would not need to get their own permit.  Non competitive per day surcharges are $1.50 a head.  Cost per crit for fees would be about $50 per crit.  

Thanks

Tuesday Crit interested Bike-racers:

It is looking like HDB cannot do the crits this year.  Things come up, and I understand that.  Silvio Menezes approached me about taking them over, but I really do not have the time right now.  However, I hate to see the crits not happen.  I have an idea by which we can have a series and kind of share the promotional work.  

Though I can't run the crits on a scale that has been done in the past, I am willing to do the following:

I send in a USAC permit for the crits and get a permit from Albq parks.   We can't get around a $200 late fee.  We use the Baloon fiesta course. 

We get a non-competitive fun ride/clinic permit.  Under this, we can run the crits more of less normally except that there would be no scoring, no prizes, no officials, no numbers.  This takes a about 2/3 of the work out of running the crit.  A little less personal glory but we still get a crit series.  

Since this is cheaper, we just charge $12 a head, juniors free.  

I will run one or two crits myself.

Other clubs step in and agree to run one or two crits per each club.  Any proceeds after all fees, and minimum wage for me doing City/USAC paperwork, goes to each club that ran each race.  There should be a little profit left.  I do not get hourly money for the ones I do but I get the same cut as other clubs. HDB said they might be able to pick up a couple as well.   

Clubs will need to:
set up cones/course
do registration
provide someone to work the lap card and start the crits
fill out a rider roster and post event form and send fees to USAC.   
provide some water if they want.  
That is pretty much all
3-4 people can probably do it depending on turnout.

I think we could get this going by 6-13.  I would need to hear back from the clubs by the end of this weekend if this is to happen.  (Lets on midnight 6-4) Plan on 8 Tuesdays from 6/13-9/8 skipping 7/4.    

Best Regards,
