1st Albany Criterium
I have had alot of support from Albany businesses, and members of the Downtown Association. I rode the course yesterday, it is superb, and could be the best crit course I've raced on in terms of safety and crowd appeal. I hope we get a good turnout for the race. Willamette Vineyards has donated wine, Allied Waste $200 and garbage containers, Central Willamette Credit Union $400, Bike and Hike some gift certificates. I'll need the Agents to show up on race day to help out, who can I count on? We should be able to race if we have enough volunteers.

I'll be there and Eric Fosdick from work wants to volunteer.
Thanks Ryan and Eric. On Wednesday the 21st, I will be moving barricades from the storage depot to the race course. Rod has offered his pickup. He claims he can't walk right now (some lame excuse about a ruptured achilles tendon), so another body or 2, or 3, would be helpful. We'll need to make 2 trips. Also, there are a few (no more than a handful) of posts/hydrants/signs that will need to be padded with hay bails. If possible, I would like to move the haybails to the course on Saturday night, and return them to the donor after the race on Sunday.
I can man a corner, ride along in the barricade truck and shout orders...anyting but be uprigt...my brother might be able to help, maybe Nikki if I can get her on board.
