This archive is composed of a collection of
documents which I acquired over 20 years of involvement in road race course
measurement. As I have recently been withdrawing myself from strong involvement
in administration, it seemed to me that it would be a pity if those succeeding
me did not have access to some of this material. Therefore I scanned the
documents and converted them to pdf format. Some course lists are also shown as
Excel files.
Not all of the material is important, but the importance of each must be judged
by the reader. I have made no effort to editorialize anything. The documents are
all as they came to me or as I created them. Special thanks to those who sent
material I did not have, especially Bernie Conway who scanned and sent to me all
the NRDC News issues from #42 to #72.
The user will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free download from www.adobe.com
If you have something that you think would be of interest, send it to me.
Also, please feel free to copy and distribute this material as you wish. Best
regards,
