[NCNCA] Early Bird crit thank you's

[Shawn Mehaffey]

Wanted to say thank you to the following entities that helped with this year's Early Bird Criterium series.
 
Clif Bar [ www.clifbar.com ]:  I cannot say enough about this great company.  They supplied our mentors with tons of energy products (some extras were used as primes on week #5), keeping them going all day from the start of the women & girls mentoring all the way to the last Cat 5 race.  Plus several of the guys from the team mentored as well.
 
Hellyer Park Velodrome Association [ www.ridethetrack.com ]: This organization gave us $200 in gift certificates for the velodrome down in San Jose, allowing us to use them as primes and random-drawing prizes for the new riders.  Their Saturday 8:30 AM skills training sessions are a great way to become a better bike handler, get a good workout and learn about track riding.  Check it out!
 
Velo Promo [ www.velopromo.com ]:  The promoter of the series takes a big chance by putting on races in January, and unfortunately this year was not a good one weather-wise.  I encourage you to attend Robert's races as much as you can; this is not a business that allows you to get rich.
 
The Mentors:  Finally a HUGE thank you to all the mentors that helped make this training series happen.  Larry & I just offer guidance to these skilled men & women; they are the ones that bring our vision into reality.

Early Bird Mentor Co-Coordinator
