Seems like you should have more of a team than a series issue - at least with that specific event.

Luckily we are helping host 2 of the races this year. While helping we are not on the permit or allowed to really take a role in the construction or execution of the budgets.....but I get to race for a nominal fee as a result. Me likey.

I like racing cyclocross. I like seeing my friends every week. I like being able to race within a short drive from my house. I have never received a payout and probably never will....therefore the purse is meaningless to me. Distance I have to travel, race time, course friendliness to families....these are my concerns. So far everyone gets an A+.
