Who the hell wants to promote a bike race nowadays? How many here promote bike races? Why the **** not? Why the **** are you not out there holding a race this ****ing year? If you're racing a bike you should be promoting or helping promote a race, period. Abso****inglutely no ****ing excuse.
Why is there no new Bethel Spring Series? Two years of a black hole in New England cycling.
Why?
Just one guy held the series for 20+ years. It's not god damn rocket science. It only takes $40-50k a year to hold the races, 400 hours or so, and maybe $5-8k in equipment. Anyone can do it. So why the **** isn't anyone doing it???
There's no new Bethel Spring Series because it's
absolutely ****ing stupid to promote bike races unless you really want to spend/lose thousands of dollars a year and spend hundreds of hours to promote races that result in having selfish bike racers complain about some aspect of the race you promoted.
