A couple of weeks ago the organizers of the Calgary Bike Week races got together over some beers to talk about how everything was coming together and various scheduling issues.
After the main part of the meeting was over I had a chance to talk with Scott Kelly (Road/Track/Cyclocross coordinator from the ABA) and Jayson Gillespie (Alberta Provincial team coach). I mentioned that as a not for profit event we were looking for somewhere to send proceeds from the race (if any, trying not to be too optimistic here!), and that I was hoping that I could forward any profits to the ABA in order to keep the money in the sport. They were both super-cool with that, and after some quick discussion we decided that we could earmark the money to support the Provincial team. This helps meet Midweek Mayhem's goals of supporting/developing racing here in Alberta, along with the race organization desire to keep money/proceeds in the sport.
