I'm happy to see that you are trying so hard to make it work there. Why don't you have see if "the web guy" can just set up a blog-type page and give you access? Then you can easily add entries w/o relying on the wed dude.

As for the comments about prep, etc. Maybe you ought to consider having a "full-prep" on Tues/Thur/Sat and make sure it always happens and people can count on it. As someone who rides, I'm sure you know how bummed out you can get if you expect a track to be good and it isnt. Then on the other days just water and fix jump faces and leave it at that. I for one am not bothered by an unprepped track if I know it is going to be that way (but you have to water to keep the dust down). That way people will know what to expect and you don't burn yourselves out.

As another idea, maybe you could setup the track so that certain areas could be easily cut out so you could prep parts for the next day while people are riding. That way the track changes a lot (since you aren't riding the whole thing all the time), yet you still have time to prep nicely. Did that make sense?
