Keeping a team like CB together and well-organized means we all need to pitch in a little in some regards. Kip and Thane have really gotten the ball rolling with our beautiful-yet-hard-to-keep-clean-kits. It's up to us to keep up the momentum by developing sponsorship opportunities, organizing practices, and the like.
I'm really proud to say I'm on the cambridge bicycle track team (which incidentally now gets you a discount at the other side) and I want to see you guys doing what you can for the team. Does anyone want to get together later this week to talk about ideas while enjoying a brew?
One resource we have is that USAC puts on some free classes each year to teach riders like us how to officiate all types of cycling races (track, road, mtb, and cross). This fall I'd like to get an officials license, so that whenever the team is ready to host a large-scale race (hopefully next season) we are prepared. USAC also hosts some classes for coaching certification, and mechanics. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll make sure you are involved.

nick, i like the way you're thinking...we do all need to put our heads together (work as a team, as it were) and come up with ideas on how to make the future of the team better. one thing that comes to mind is fundraising. it is likely that we will need to have some creative fundraising events in order to bring the team to the level we all want. let's come up with some good ideas......
nick, this weekend? what's up? what's your schedule? i'm interested in getting together....

I was thinking about this the other day, and based upon a conversation Nick and were having the other day maybe the shop could start throwing goldsprint nights at a local bar where people pay a small fee to sprint or something? Not sure how feasible this really is, but it would be a creative way to raise money thats somewhat bike related.
craig had brought up the goldsprint idea in the past. lets make it happen!
yes goldsprints! is that actually feasible? is there anything i can do to help?
