What about combining a road and mtb race-similar to a cyclocross at Krug for St Joe riders?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678235849440012961.post-63787515097434886432008-12-31T16:12:00.000-06:002008-12-31T16:12:00.000-06:00I totally agree.

But I would make sure that it is not anytime near the tour of missouri. <BR/><BR/>That event takes virtually every city service and many sponsors to make happen. <BR/><BR/>If we do soemthing at the same time, it will be very difficult to collaborate with anyone other than us. And sponsors will put there money with the tour and not the Krug event also...JDOUGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01678296472871820321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678235849440012961.post-80605131143611772422008-12-31T08:54:00.000-06:002008-12-31T08:54:00.000-06:00To my knowledge, the City won't hear anything on t...To my knowledge, the City won't hear anything on the Tour of Missouri until mid/late January.<BR/><BR/>After the 2008 Tour, I believe the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) determined that trying to do a full weekend of stuff prior to the Tour was not a good idea given the small number of activities that went on... of course I feel that there wasn't enough notice in the sense that nobody knew what to expect or what the potential was.<BR/><BR/>I have so many questions for all you guys regarding how the mtb race series stuff goes as far as scheduling. I guess the smart thing to do would be to start off small and make sure that whatever activities we choose are very well organized as JDOUG mentioned.<BR/><BR/>I don't have a lot of time to surf the web, but something I'm interested in at this point is coming up with a list of everything required for an event in each dicipline... xc, trials, road, etc. My thought is to identify the needs and attempt to identify individuals or groups that may be able to provide resources at little or no cost.<BR/><BR/>I would certainly prefer spring or fall events over the heat/humidity of summer, but that may put us in competition with bigger venues... as I said, I have no idea how all that scheduling stuff works for xc, which I feel will be the key element.<BR/><BR/>Is there any type of short downhill or side by side racing that would be possible at Krug whereby we could include one of the multi-dicipline events where the best score over 3 events (xc, downhill, beginner trials, tricycle races) wins a prize?<BR/><BR/>Sorry for my lack of experience in the area, but I'm thinking in terms of the Eureka Springs Fat Tire Festival whereby they do downhil, observed trials, and short loop time trials on a Saturday, then hold the awards ceremony and social event along with XC registration at an event hall on Saturday night with videos of prior years racing, music etc. Then have the big xc race on Sunday followed by an onsite awards ceremony.<BR/><BR/>What about some type of short track races throughout the summer whereby we could advertise the upcoming event(if we go with a fall schedule) and build the hype and support for the local riders?...kind of like the Parties on the Parkway on a Saturday or Sunday morning... maybe some kids races of some kind whereby the event is all about the kids. The pros put their bikes down and give all the time and attention to the kids.

Can some more events possibly be planned prior to the Tour of Missouri like last year, If it returns to St Joe?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678235849440012961.post-68058548680743748482008-12-30T19:20:00.000-06:002008-12-30T19:20:00.000-06:00Sounds fun...
