BEAT THE BASTARD
Ok, I've stayed quiet about this but things are starting to get serious. We had 70 riders register to ride over the May Day weekend, the first 60 were told they were in so long as they got their registration papers and payment in by the end of February. When they weren't all in the 10 "reserves" were offered places.
We have now had a grand total of:
39 Paid –
20 paid standup riders.
18 paid Lugers.
1 paid Rollerblader.
We are about to have to go into our own pockets to pay for infrastructure such as haybales, toilets, etc that should be coming out of the rego fees that haven't been paid.
A small group of people have put an absolute shyteload of time and effort into getting a first class course opened and available for the downhill community to ride and there doesn't seem to be the willingness to make the effort on the part of the community to get involved. I know we are a long way away from a lot of oz, but if you weren't going to come, why say you were? We went ahead with this event based on the fact that we had 60 riders planning on attending and paying, going to be hard to do it on 2/3rds of that turn out and income. Certainly won't be much for the Prostate Cancer Fund will there?
We have decided that the cut off for registration and payment will be March 27th if you do not have your rego papers AND payment in by that time, or at least contacted Grits or myself by that date you will not be riding as we will base our logistics on the numbers we have on that date.
Time to walk the walk guys!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ado made the local paper this week. Some great publicity for the event.

First Jacko and Ramon getting good publicity on the NSW mid coast, now Adrian getting good publicity in FNQ. It's been a good week in the media.
I'm getting psyched about the SGS on the Sunday - slalom on a steep hill is the best!
