I’m happy to help with ‘cross race (as long as I can race both days) and let’s figure this race weekend out soon!  I’m not sure what the consensus is, but maybe a quick informal vote?  Do it in 2018 or not?  On May 14, 2018, at 11:10 AM, Mike Lyon lyon689@PROTECTED [OCC_Race_Committee] <occ_race_comm@PROTECTED> wrote: All I am saying we need to get a consensus about what to do.  I have spent a lot of time already trying to get sponsors and got one, 315 Brewery.  There has been a const ...Continue Reading

All I am saying we need to get a consensus about what to do.  I have spent a lot of time already trying to get sponsors and got one, 315 Brewery.  There has been a constant diminishing return on the effort we put into holding this event.  Thought we should make the decision at the meeting and then get input from those that can’t attend.    Also, the race committee really doesn’t get involved with the cross race, but I wouldn’t mind if they did.  It is usually just Noel and me making th ...Continue Reading

This is a copy of my email that was sent to the race committee last January. As is now very obvious it was completely ignored. It seems now that we are scrambling to figure out what we should do.We apparently have a club that is not interested in volunteering, racers that are not interested in racing, money to be spent that we can’t afford and a committee that for the most part we haven’t even heard from. Is there really a questions to what we should do? Begin forwarded message:From: *Chuck Dominick <chuckd ...Continue Reading

Mike - are you thinking we don’t do SRW this year?  Focus on ‘cross Race instead?  On May 14, 2018, at 9:57 AM, Mike Lyon lyon689@PROTECTED [OCC_Race_Committee] <occ_race_comm@PROTECTED> wrote: I think you should waitOn May 14, 2018, at 9:49 AM, Donald Butler dab31415+occ@PROTECTED [OCC_Race_Committee] <occ_race_comm@PROTECTED> wrote: I'll call them and make arrangements.Donald Butler*Treasurer, Onondaga Cycling ClubPO Box 6307Syracuse, NY 13217dab31415+occ@PROTECTEDOn Mon, May ...Continue Reading

I’m not sure this helps, but :1) I LOVE our several race / weekend format.  It is different from anything else around this area.  It SHOULD appeal to a different group of racers from the normal road racing crew.  2) It doesn’t.  Fewer and fewer people come, and no one in the club seems to care about this race. 3) I am happy to do whatever I can to help put this weekend together. 4) Like most of the people organizing this, I am overextended in life, and if we decide to cancel, I’ll be sad, b ...Continue Reading
