The Past Chairperson

012511

This is a set of emails between me, the past chairperson for CSULBcyclists and the then president of the CSULB Race team.  It still needs some formatting.

I found that email

Gerry,

Great bumping into you at the lab!  I am happy that things are working out

fer the club and that you have a lot of riders.  I found that email I

mentioned.  I am not certain if this is the guy that called me about the

club but check out the email thread below.

Voler is fine.  these guys were cheaper but not nec. better

We really need an org meeting with as many people as we can get. We need an

agenda posted and as many lookie loos as we can get email addresses for.

thats step one.

You may want to look at this ElDorado Flyer

Hello,

I'm Gerry president of the Long Beach State cycling team. If you

could help us out that would be great. We are in the process of getting some

jerseys. we were going to go threw voler. they were the most resonable

priced. some other sites were more expensive with less quality. the next

dead line is April 1st to place an order.

you can find our team on Facebook under groups CSULB cycling team

We really need a good email dist list

I should also be at the eldo race

http://www.californiabicycleracing.org/2010.ElDorado.Flyer.pdf on 3/9 at

430pm. If I know some csulb people will be there I can get there a little

earlier. its starts at 445pm

First they need to get a webpage like

www.CSULBraceteam.com<http://www.csulbraceteam.com/>then get the

school to set up a page like this:

http://www.csulb.edu/org/sports/wvolleyball/

http://www.csulb.edu/org/sports/mcycling for example or

http://www.csulb.edu/org/sports/wcycling

this is causing more confusion

http://www.csulb.edu/org/special/csulbcyclists/ ....racing and rec/fun/tweed

riding are not the same at all

I basically created  http://www.paramountracing.org/ from virtually nothing

and was president from 1998-2001. I work for a living and dont have a lot of

time but I am good at grass roots organizing and building organizations from

scratch. they key is to get good motivated savvy people to help at the start

I also know all the key people at

http://www.campusrec.uci.edu/club/biking.asp very well run with tons of

industry support.

Once you can get this snowballing after a year or two you can step back and

it will keep going. I would like to see if we can get some money from the

city of LB. Charlie Gandy would bite on this I think. Given the state budget

deals going on I dont see CSU system coming up with anything in terms of

cash. I am sure Jax would want in on this as well as I was talking to the GM

Matt last night about it.
