Parade AND Race, or just Race?

[thegreatwizard]

This is a very basic question: would there be a Parade, or just the Race?

Cutting out the Parade would be easy to do, save a bundle of time and energy, and only minimally affect the scoring. (Not that the parade scores aren't important, but its easy to remove them from the scoring method).

I suggest cutting out the Parade!

Agreed - it will be enough to just get the Race together again, and the parade could potentially be added in future years.

I plan to ride around the mall last sat in April just to annoy those who think my over sized bicycle doesn't have the full use of the lane.
course , I'm getting ornery in my old age.

just race - the parade made the event fairly difficult for out of towners to participate in.

maybe a short pre-race safety check parade at the race location for people to "get in the mood"?
