Now that the Alpenrose Challenge and the Six Day are over and we have had some time to decompress I would like to thank the people that were involved with the organization of the race. Several people volunteered their time to work with the organizing committee all last year. Lots of effort was put towards promotion, housing, artwork, sponsorship development, etc. Many people volunteered during the race doing less than fun jobs like parking lot duty. Without the work done by these people it would be impossible to put on such an event. Thank you for helping to make this one of the best races in the US. Now to think towards next year. We need people to help with planning and organization of the 2001 event. The people involved with the Challenge this year were stretched to the max. Some of last year's people are not going to be involved for 2001. If you want to be in on the organizational end of the biggest prize list track race in the US please get in touch with me. It is also time to solicit donations for the track program. In 1997 I asked that people commit to donating yearly for a 5 year period. This money is used to offset the costs of the re-construction of the velodrome done that year. I will be sending a note by snail mail to those of you that have donated in the past. Obviously money is one of those thing that you can't have too much of. Anyone who appreciates the facility that we have should consider giving to this program. Please send donations to: Portland Velodrome Committee 4318 SE 8th Ct. Gresham, OR 97080 Mike Murray |
