Friday Update
Things are rolling along here in US Gran Prix of Cyclocross land . . . . .
Today I confirmed local announcers to assist Richard Fries over the weekend. Saturday will be Brian Rybarik who announced one day last year. Sunday will be Kelson Danielson who announced at the Levis Trow WEMS race this year. I hope Richard is prepared . . . .
Things are coming along for the other volunteer jobs. However, we still have jobs to fill so speak up now before I have to hunt you down and hassle you! I will do it!! At the Run for Snow this summer a spectator asked the water stop volunteers how they happened to end up working the race. They all looked at each other and said we're here because we know Renee. Ah yes, to know me is to eventually succumb to volunteering at an event. I do appreciate it. I really do!!
This afternoon/evening is meetings with the speedway, with the caterer, with the sponsor. Tomorrow is the bike shop to discuss the Friday night event and then supply buying. Two bazillion zip ties, paint, tape, rope . . . Home Depot here we come!
The only problem looming on the horizon is when I have to break the news to the USGP people that I won't be available every day the week before the event. Work obligations that can't be broken beckon and even though they expect John and I available 24/7 that week it just isn't going to happen. Luckily I've arranged for Dave to stand in for me on those days and pick up the slack. It's really not glamorous being married to me (because I bet everyone thought it was!!).
More later.
