RE: [obc] TT results on OBC links
Many are called but few are chosen ! Of the fact that Celia is doing a super job, there can be no doubt, however, in order to get results at all you need people to actually run the program. We have been very fortunate so far in having Jim Glover and his associates giving their time, but the high turn out of riders is not reflected in the numbers willing to volunteer. It would be just great if we had more than one candidate for Time Trial Co-Ordinator if that position were put up for election. -Original Message- From: Michael Coldwell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, August 18, 2002 2:42 PM To: OBC Subject: [obc] TT results on OBC links Earlier this season I had pointed out, to the OBC Board, the lack of TT results on the OBC website. I was told, at that time, that it was being developed and we should all be more patient. Since Celia had (and has!) continued to independently produce excellent quality result pages and since it appeared that development of the official TT pages had hardly started, I suggested that, at least until the work was complete, a link be made from the OBC web to Celia's result pages. My suggestion was ignored, and at one point there were no updates to the official TT result pages for more than a month of our competetive season. We have now had almost a whole season of TT's, and most members of the club have mostly viewed the results from Celia's link that she sends out each week. The reality is that Celia is supporting the club member requirements, and is certainly recognized within the membership for her superb work and dedication, though it seems unappreciated by the OBC board. If the OBC board is unwilling to appreciate the TT results we did have (which I feel were second to none of any bicycle club sites), then I would recommend that the TT keeper position be an elected position. You know where my vote will go. Advantages of Celia's site: colour coded for easy viewing and picking out relative placements; links from each line detail to access other grouping information (by category, name, or speed); timeliness of data onto the site; weather details; proper seed sheets; BAR calculations; ABC results; complete and accurate results (i.e. all categories (I notice the PeeWee is missing from August 8 official results - too bad, as I think it's great to encourage the young cyclists); complete volunteer lists (once again, we can't survive without volunteers, and they should always be recognized)); there may be more issues, but I sure haven't done an in depth search). I am a user of this information, appreciate having it, and knowing that we have had the quality support from Celia, certainly would not expect that we need to take a step backwards as technological capabilities generally takes steps forward.

[obc] Sept. 5 Handicap TT Mystery
To All and Sally and Les Yes, Jim Glover is the man, he does a fabulous job running the Time Trials and as a respected coach for many OBC members.One immediately should mention his side-kick Alex McKnight who regularly assists. A big thank You to both. But Les, your suggestion to have Jim elected there might be a problem,ha,ha,...he is.not very diplomatic, he runs a 'tight ship'. Right Avery(last TT) ! As for lack of volunteers I have to disagree with you - you hav'nt been attending for most of the summer : there are lots of volunteers, often too many, eager to help. I'm one of them. Sally, thanks for your input. I know you and Paul and Rick Sudac are opposed to changes.WHO WANTS CHANGES ? Please speak up. Is there so little interest in the Handicap Time Trial - if yes - why have one ?

As the largest cycling club in the region it would be a shame to just stand by and let smaller mountain bike specific clubs take on the NCC alone. Does the OBC have a road specific mandate? No but there are some complex issues related to trail use and we would need to have some expertise and research done to take a position. Alan Anderson has been our unofficial guide on MTB issues and we leave it to him and others to suggest what positions to take but so far we haven't taken any. That doesn't mean we won't but NCMBA is probably better qualified. As you probably know, it has been our practice not to automatically rubber stamp some other organization's advocacy. -Original Message- From: Avery Burdett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 4:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [obc] gatineau park Derek J Medland wrote: I heard that there is a possibility of the NCC closing closing the Park down to any form of racing, road or mtn or tri.

RE: [obc] gatineau park
NCMBA certainly means well, but they have neither the commitment, membership base, prestige nor history that the OBC can take pride in to effect change at the levels of bureaucracy it takes to deal with Mr Beaudry and friends. Though I have been doubted, I can verify trail access is indeed threatened, I have seen the two year proposals. More than two of the most popular 'bike only' trails are being turned into main and shared access trails. Shared access, as those of you that mountainbike as well as roadbike will agree, means 5+ feet wide, poor drainage patterns, and absolutely terrible construction materials, more suited for driveways than cycling paths. Certainly if there was ever a time that the OBC needs to take a stand, it is to represent cyclists' best interests in the Gatineau Park. I will do what I can to share information on this topic as it comes available. I will include any interested parties in an event, petition, and media coverage to bring this to light, into the public eye so we can have a singular unified voice from the cycling community as a whole.
