Sidetracked

The Wednesday morning levee ride was pretty standard fare today, although for some reason Big Richard was gently pushing the pace most of the time. It's all relative, of course, since we were rarely going more than 23 mph. Still, I felt like I'd had a workout when I rolled the bike back into the house. I had to attend a morning training session on the uptown campus today for some new payroll software. It was largely unnecessary, albiet required, so I sat through the demonstration, even when they crashed the software, and then made them nervous by asking if, since the system uses a regular web browser, the user's cache saves copies of unsecured pages containing personnel information. Anyway, for much of the day I got sidetracked with LAMBRA stuff, especially the 2008 race calendar. Things are coming along fairly well, but we probably won't know until next week how the road chamionships will shake out, and Rocky Mount is waiting to see the TxBRA calendar before committing to a date, and once they do it will surely conflict with one of the time trials already on the calendar, so we'll be playing musical dates at some point before things settle down.

LAMBRA needs to get rid of 75% of those TT's. What a waste of a weekend with poor turnout when a stage race could bring 5 times the crowd and 100000000 times the fun?

LAMBRA doesn't promote races, promoters do. I'd love to see road races and crits crowd out the time trials on the calendar. Just let me know which weekend you want to promote one.
