Message from Velo Promo about Oakland Grand Prix, also VOLUNTEER MARSHALS are needed!
Still no decision on the last race of the day at Oakland Grand Prix tomorrow. All but three 1/2/3P (men) riders have responded saying yes to moving the 1/2/3P race one hour earlier, to 2:25, but we can't make that for sure until we hear from the last 3. The issue is only one Women 1/2/3 has entered, and she has agreed to ride earlier in the day, with the Women 3/4/5. So we have no one in the Wm 1/2/3 slot at 2:20, and are trying to get to all the 1/2/3/Pro (men) riders to move earlier. Please let everyone you know that might be entering day-of that the race MIGHT be one hour earlier. More later today on a final decision.
Another issue (and more importantly?) We are still way short of the number of volunteer marshals needed to make this a safe race. If you can help out for part of the day, please sign up at: OGP Volunteers. Please tell your friends and relations.
Sorry for the multiple emails, but we are trying to reach everyone we can.
Thank you,
