Under the thumb of the military
Mon, 01/28/2008 - 9:21pm
This is a question for VP primarily but thought I would post it here because i know there are a lot of people in the same predicament.
With the popularity of the sport rising every year it seems that races are selling out faster and faster, heck snelling cat 4 field filled up a month and a half out. so much for the days of,man i am feeling good this weekend, lets go sign up the morning of.
Anyway, me being in the military, my schedule isnt a typical 9-5 with maybe having to go on the occasional saturday and am routinely called up to leave within 48 hrs notice. This is where my question comes from, is there anyway to prereg and then if i know i am not going to be able to make it get my money back or sell my slot to another person? I know someone jokingly brought up that these slots are going to start being auctioned on ebay but it is almost coming down to that but I can't not pas up pre-reg any more or I wont have any opportunity to race this year.
So what are my options, if any? thanks
thanks, appreciate the responses

There is a special email address velopromo@sportsbaseonline.com If you can not make the races you can email us and we will add you to the credits list for a future race and we then call the next person on the waiting list and move them in. Thanks The SBO Support Team
For non Velo Promo you'll have to ask each promoter.
Berkeley Hills, Pescadero, Burlingame, Wente, McLane (already full...), Mt Hamilton will fill for masters 4 and 4 sometimes, too.
Other Velo Promo races that fill for some 4/35 4/5- Giro, Winters, Copperopolis, Patterson
See http://www.velopromo.com/general_policies_of_velo_promo.htm for the General Velo Promo policies for things like refunds/credits etc. For Velo Promo races if you let them know by the Web before the race that you can't make the race they give you a credit towards another Velo Promo race.
Note that all Velo Promo races don't fill up really fast. Races like Cantua or Pine Flat either will not fill, or there is normally the ability to add additional fields. There are only a few races like Snelling where the race fill quickly and there is a very limited ability to add additional fields.
