Putting on a race  Does that send chills down your spine? I've
done a lot in cycling but this is one of the most fearful items
of my cycling todo's on my list. Recently, Whitney Debroux talks
of his process to get a race organized in Prospect near
Longmount. He thought it might be easy but so far its not been.
Then you have a different problem of promoting which is what
Chris Grealish of DBCevents.com has which is cost and PR. Yes,
he loves cycling but he wants to make some money. And if it
isn't cost that is getting to him it's the PR aspect of the part
of promoting, remember last year when the womens field started a
boycott of the Boulder Roubaix because of the field categories?
It's not a easy task, you have government on one side, $$$ on
the other, rider complaits on another, area residents, mother
nature, ACA, volunteers, insurance, etc.....  I would love to
hear others peoples insight on how hard/easy putting on a race
might be, maybe this will help break the ice and get more folks
involved in race pro
