A message board is a place for discussions. They need to have announcements posted on a major website. Nationally, this would be USAcycling, locally I'm not sure one exists (maybe bikethrow one day) They could also send out an e-mail to all MCF members. Maybe that's too easy. The one (of few) thing that Iowa bike racing has ahead of Minnesota is an organized e-mail list used often for announcements. That message board is not a place for advertising important news.

Noo Noo, thanks for the constructive feedback. It is our aim to continually raise the bar, and minimize Rookie's negative influences. I don't like using "like", I prefer umm or uhh. Seriously, we welcome the feedback and strive to bring our readers and listeners what they want. Big thanks to Dave for joining us.

Here are my thoughts as I listened. Please make a tighter podcast next time! Please notice my comments about getting U-23s or the best collegiate racers. It would be very easy to do. Maybe Mr. LaPorte will read this I also hope no one is offended. Sean 1. You don't know Mr. Laporte's title. c'mon 2. i stopped listening when you kept blabbing about track without saying anything 3. good points about master's...but whining about crankiness is annoying 4. Maybe dave laporte should host this. he is good. 5. blah rosemount blah. good point about mr. needs-to-upgrade 6. i like it when mr. laporte chimes in. he might as well say "SR, are you stupid?" 7. Thanks for the northfield shout out! 8. no, don't make this thing longer. i already got 3 things on my to-do list done while sort-of listening. 9. oooo, nice challenging questions about time cuts and NVGP issues 10. 'nobody listens to this' good point 11. finally the important issue-- who can get in to NVGP locally 12. 'The twelve riders that should have got in, did'---- That's right Jake Boyce! 13. wheelies are sweet 14. stop saying 'like'!!!!! 15. WHEEL AND SPROCKET DID NOT ADVERTISE TO MINNESOTA U-23S. It would be sweet to put some U-23 riders together. Props to Bianchi/Gp for putting 3 U-23 riders in the race. 16. i think i was sunburned today. i am glad i rode my bike before listening to all of this 17. Ryan collegiate all-stars rock. IT WOULD BE EASY TO DO THIS FOR THE MEN TOO. Just use results from DI/DII collegiate nats 18. super rookie can ride mountain bikes? I sent some comments to SR after the last podcast I listened to.
