| MEETING AGENDA and MINUTES |
|---|
| The 2-1-2010 meeting Mangia's Pizza on Mesa ( just South of Spicewood Springs road intersection ) 6:30 PM - Salad, Pizza and Tea/water buffet ($6.00) 7:00 PM - Meeting Meeting Agenda 2010 officer elections 2010 season clothing order update Recent race/ride results VC glory Free Q-tips for those still trying to recover from the Texas State Cyclocross mudfest Tea and sympathy for Copperas Cove survivors . . . Minutes We chatted about the pipping of Bam-Bam at the Cat 4 line during Sunday's Tour of New Braunfels RR and recounted various other rider experiences from the same event -- getting lost due to bad directions from people at a church, in spite of the fact that there was a Garmin zip-tied to your stem; witnessing a harrowing stack-up in the Cat 5 event (shocking, I know); trading how-cold-was-it stories, etc. We debated the relative grossness factor of crated cats in a confined, airless space versus a dead cow belly-up in a bar ditch, both of which featured on club rides this Sunday past. We congratulated Mino Giunta on his State Junior title in CX, plus various other outstanding VC performances at the same event. Ethan Moorhead informed us that he has served his time in purgatory and now cats up to 3's. We patted the responsible members on their collective present and absent backs for contributing to VC's once again taking the TXBRA team cup for CX. We discussed the 2010 season kit order, expected around the first of March. Socks, sourced from a different manufacturer, are due sooner but will be distributed with the rest of the kit. Research into the possibility of sourcing solid black Elite Wrap bibs/shorts at a discount comparable to custom from LG are ongoing -- the response to initial queries was unsatisfactory. Tom Paterson suggested we share our own independently sourced bib/short details -- preferred manufacturer, style, price, etc., on the listserv as a service to fellow club members. Jay Bond's BOD appointment as VC TXBRA delegate was announced. John Collins announced VC's formal agreement to partner with Holland Racing and Andrew Willis to promote the 2010 state age-based criterium championships in June. More details and volunteer info. to come. Joe Haas took over as VC club president for 2010, and Andy Austin was elected by acclamation to the post of president-elect for 2011. Greg Lakomski was denied parole on his sentence of 25-to-life as VC treasurer and was returned to his cell by the lovely Donna. Kurt Bauer was elected secretary for 2010, relieving Jay Bond from the post he has held for the past two years. Till March . . . Adios, muchachos y muchachas.
