What to do?

OK guys - I have not had much to say as of late. First, I would like to explain that with the state of the economy and worldwide needs concerning natural disasters Building Champion Cylists FL just did not seem that important. Also, due to a reduction in workload on my part I deemed it appropriate to cut back on traveling and the expense of racing or competing outside of my local area. As far a efforts to raise funds for BCCFL I was not comfortable asking any individual or business for donations when there are so many other non profits, churches, private schools and organizations in great need of donations.

There is still money in the BCC account (approximately $500.00). I am asking what you want me to do with it, as I don’t see the economy to picking back up in a timely manner that might change my mind to get back to actively promoting this program. I feel there has been a significant increase in the promotion of cycling in the past two years with the availability of professional coaching, Florida Cycling Magazine and increased organization with the Road Racing scene. A number of private individuals are donating their time and knowledge in many ways.

So what to do with the $500:00

My thought. Cash Primes at this upcoming Gone Riding Fall Series races. Not sure of the criteria (fastest 3rd lap to place top 5) (most consistent lap times). What divisions?

Currently I have elected to coach Girls Track, Boys Track and Volley Ball at my daughters private school on a voluntary basis. This takes away from my time and energy level concerning this program. I had full intention of giving BCC 5yrs, but did not anticipate the changes that have taken place since the conception of the program.
