Any last words? Suggestions to the club admin?

For me, it would be great if the tues and Thurs workouts was scheduled a little bit earlier, like 6:30 PM's. Another suggestion, would be having a Bus transportation to bring big groups to Run NYRR and many other races in New York City and around if you guys don't have it yet. Thank You ! :-)
