Dear NCNCA members and whom it concerns

	Thank you very much for responding to my initial email of Juniors field in SF. I appreciate the 
wide range of responses and support this topic has received over the past couple of weeks. 
Although I am disappointed that a Juniors field will not take place this year, I now understand 
and respect the organizer's decision in making a tough choice. However, I am even more happy that 
there is such support and awareness for the Juniors field. When I initially sent out the first 
email, I was optimistic that a few emails would circulate. When I saw email after email filled 
with suggestions, support and comments pertinent to the Junior field, it was fantastic. Moreover, 
a number of generous race promoters have added Junior categories- the Carrera de San Rafael and 
the Crockett Crit! Thanks!

After viewing all the emails about small and developing fields, I realize that it is important to 
not only progress the Juniors, but Women as well.  By just  looking back on how many people cared 
about these two groups for just ONE event, I have no doubt that the future is bright in bringing 
Juniors and Women to the start line at every race.

Sincerely,
Julian Martinez
