The postcards have still been trickling for registrants of this years Grumpy Grind. There are currently 15 roster spots left. A few people have contacted me with questions/concerns about registration. In my mind, I feel like the website has answered most of those questions already, but maybe I wasn't quite as clear as I should have been. So I'll do my best to clarify a few of those questions today.
*You can only register via your postcard entry. In the past, people were able to email their intentions of coming to ride. That is not the case this year.
*This years field is limited to only 100 riders. If the field reaches that number, registration is closed for the year. If this years field doesn't reach that number by April 1st, registration will still close regardless of how many riders have registered.

*There will be no day of the event registration allowed. If you are not on the list of registered riders, please respectfully do NOT show up with intentions to ride. You will not be given cue cards and it is disrespectful to the character of the event.
*There will be no transfer of registration allowed. If you really don't plan to ride (fair weather riders?), then maybe you shouldn't register?
*There is no penalty for those who choose not come. It's not real cool to take a roster spot and be a no-show, but that's how it goes sometimes. If for some reason you know you can't make it, please respectfully contact me so I can plan accordingly.
*If you send in a registration postcard after the field limit is full, I will contact you via email letting you know that unfortunately you will not be able to participate this year.
As stated in previous posts, the purpose of a field limit is so I can better plan for the event. If you ever choose to organize your own event, you will quickly understand this concept. The other reason for this field limit is because we only have so much parking space available. Plain and simple. At this point in time, everyone has had an equal opportunity to send me their registration.
I feel a little silly posting these explanations for an event that is supposed to be a simple grass roots event. Thanks for understanding.
