This reminds me that making financial donations to the non-profits that are supporting growth and access to cycling is so important. If a lot of us want this type of thing, we can help make it happen. Thanks for the interview.
Great interview at the start of new CX season. What Chris McGovern is proposing is sorely needed and he offers such a well thought out and clear perspective of our National CX scene. The gravel scene has taken the sponsors cash, and many of the nonprofessional riders who pay the bills with their entry fees. But the core Crossers are still around as I was fortunate enough to experience at DCCX and Falkorsburg this past weekend. Without industry financial backing It seems to me some crowd sourcing is in order for these programs operating on a shoestring budget, and that this effort should come from us participating old timers. Chris and the others of his ilk are donating enormous amounts of time for next to no money, and have their hands full. I encourage all to donate some cash to the local program of your choice. As an aside, I still have a Top Club CX tshirt which I cherish for its great design… thanks for your efforts Chris, and of course Zach and Bill as well for this fine newsletter.

Thanks for the comment. I think this is a great point.
