[NCNCA] Women's Races

[Ron Castia]

It's not just Cat's Hill.
At the EBC  Criterium we are doing a 40% cash payback 10 deep for the Pro 1/2/3 Women and have no entries, none, zero, zip. What's up with that/

We really wanted to support Women this year and offered 3 fields. We have a total of 10 Women registered.

If you are going to be the loudest to complain, it's a good idea to show some love when your voice is acknowledged.
Right now, we are not seeing it and the Women's fields are hinting that they may be just a big waste of our schedule time.
We could have easily just run more masters 4s and 3s and made some bank, or gone home early.

NCNCA,

Last year the LGBRC made the bad decision to replace the Women's 3/4
race with Master 45 race and the cycling community let us know in no
uncertain terms that we made a BIG mistake.  Therefore, we reinstated
the women's 3/4 race plus increased the cash prize list for the women's
1/2/3 race from $600/6 places to $1000/10 places in 2008.  So what is
the response to our return to sanity?  We currently have 11 women
pre-registered for each race.  (As it stands now only one 1/2/3 woman
will place out of the money.)

Lots of people last year complained about our dumb decision and we
listened to you.  In return, we hope that the cycling community would
have a change of heart and would support our women's races this
Saturday.
