Keeping Tempo: 4-8-09

What was it I wanted to tell you? Oh yeah, this:

• Jim Wilson's pictures from Tyson's Corner are now available.
• There is reason to believe that Kevin Dillard's Tyson's photos aren't far behind.
• And the Tyson's race results are now posted at NCVC's (crackling new) website.
• 92% of voters think You Got Dropped should keep on publishing photos of racers who spend the latter part of races working on their TT skills on the wrong side of the pack. I'm wondering if this isn't going to spur a moral hazard in amateur racing. Until there's a website dedicated expressly to podium photos, the best way to get some extra exposure for your sponsors is to fail miserably and publicly. On the other hand, it could also promote more aggressive racing, as the cost of failure isn't ignominy, but fame.
• There are race reports all over the place from the Weekend's activities - keep an eye on the Ambassador NewsRoll to watch them in real-time. That's what it's there for - to serve you race reports.
• The GamJams Regional Racing calendar now has VA-Cycling and MABRA races through the end of the year, as well as upcoming PA, NC and SC events. This weekend are Road Races in Mount Joy (PA) and Morgantown (WV), and a Time Trial in Readington (NJ). Where are you going?
