Hi Bill -

My apologies - we did not intend it to be considered SPAM, just
getting the word out about our organization which may be able to
assist some members of your group, or someone they know.

We at Raceday are not asking for anything in return (unless someone
feels like
they want to donate to our organization). Instead, we've recognized
that
endurance sports, including cycling, don't get the funding that other
mainstream sports get, particularly at the development level.

We simply want to let everyone know our programs are available and
hopefully
get some people (the response already has been incredible) to allow
us to help
them.

I hope I did not offend by posting this, we are simply trying to
continue to
promote the sports we love.

Regards,
Tony
