So, it looks as if a crisis was averted last night at the meeting. We appointed a track director, track promoter, people are signing up to be a part of a committee that will run the track, I believe the head official was chosen or at least given a nod. It was very productive but it looks as if there is still a lot of work to be done to keep the track going and to get it into shape for the future.

Someone threw out a figure of 1.2 million dollars. That is how much it will cost to completely re-do the track; to make sure that it doesn’t become Mr. Bumpy face again. There are major infrastructure issues under the track that have caused it to become bumpy, so to me it makes sense to re-do the track instead of spending $300,000 to repave the surface just to have it become bumpy in five years. Of course, we would have to somehow raise 1.2 million dollars. A daunting but worthy task.

As an aside, I totally wasn’t a lazy cyclist yesterday!
