[Northbrook Velodrome - General Email List] Ed Rudolph Communique: FINAL 2006 ROTY Standings & Information

[imelda at northbrookvelodrome.org]

Dear riders,

2006 ROTY FINAL STANDINGS

I am extremely thrilled to announce that we combed the statistics for  
the last few days and have now posted the final 2006 ROTY standings.  
To see how you ended up against your peers, please visit  
http://www.northbrookvelodrome.org/files/2006_ROTY_Final_Standings.pdf

The 2006 ROTY program awards the top 20 men, top 10 women and top 5  
juniors' points' earners.  Yes, you are not reading incorrectly we  
have made changes to reflect the increase in women participants.    As  
you all know there has been a huge increase in the women participation  
this year and we would like to continue that tradition for years to  
come.

Another change is that there is an increase for both the women and  
junior ROTY payouts.

We will be posting the top 20 men listing momentarily.

I will be taken part in the Northshore Century and riding the 100kms  
option.  I am rolling out about 7:00 a.m. so if you see me out there
