Holy change of plans batman . . .

The race director at Grafton is awesome and has comitted to equal prizes for all the women's category in 2010. It was all just a big misunderstanding this year and I apologize for thinking he was purposely giving the women lower payouts. I should have handled it better but I didn't and for that I'm sorry. I am happy to have it all solved for the better as I do think this race will be pretty fun and I guess people actually care about MadCross coverage. The Grafton park looks to have some nice terrain and an Irish punk rock band, too. I don't want to miss that (the band, not the hills). And it was nice to hear so much support for women's racing from all kinds of people who hadn't noticed the unequal prizes until I pointed it out.

This has caused a shift in my plans (and poor Dave's too). We had been planning a nice long weekend in Hayward going mtn biking. That is easily cancelled as I hadn't actually gotten around to booking hotels. However, Dave is already committed to going to Eau Claire to help his parents with some stuff and they are picking him up tonight. Now I have to figure out when I'm retreiving him . . . skip the Saris Gala and get him Friday night or make the drive from Grafton post-race.

I will say my tenure as WCA Cyclocross Liaison is probably coming to an end . . . .
