almabtrieb 2009 canceled
stephan risch posted,
Hello Friends this is an unreserved apology !
I was thinking a lot in the last weeks about organizing the Almabtrieb 2009.
The community Tannheimer Tal, from the area of Jungholz, told me last year they wanted to sponsor the Almabtrieb 2009.
They didnt answer my emails the last months and that makes me more and more afraid about finanzing the Almabtrieb 2009.
Finding sponsors is impossible at the moment with the common economic development.
The disinclination to invest again in the Almabtrieb and losing money like last year ( 6000 € in the Team ) dispose me to the decison to cancel the Almabtrieb 2009.
I m getting older and it is difficult for me and my team being away from work organizing a event in this times with no sponsors !
I wish the IGSA a great and well organized season 2009 with fascinating races.
My decision is made and there is no cause getting in contact with me talking about the Almabtrieb 2009.
You will see me this year on all the Europe IGSA events having fun, racing with my friends and drinking beer in the night.
Respectfully, Stephan Risch

hey dude its not for lack of trying on your part. As you said, given the economic situation something had to give sooner or later. Sorry it had to be your event.Perhaps some else will be willing to take the reigns for next year. At least now you can focus more time on the important things like riding and hangin out with yer mates.
cheers
