How do I manage a cycling team?

I belong to a bicycle racing team. Recently, I was chosen to be its Team Manager. What exactly are the duties and responsibilities of a Team Manager?
Answer
Oh man, was that one of those deals where they ask for volunteers and everybody else takes a step backwards but you?
From your question, it sounds like this is a local club, so it's an unpaid job, right?
Here are some things you might think about:
- chief communicator and logistics - upcoming rides, races, clinics, get-togethers, handling questions w/ the promoter, who's going, who's driving, who's carpooling, who needs to borrow what equipment, who has the big toolkit and spares and pumps, where to stay if it's out of town, where do we stop for dinner, what do we need in the cooler for race day, etc. You'll want everybody's phone numbers and email. Stay organized!
"did everybody bring your shoes and helmets?" #1 forgotten item before races.
- sponsor go-between - keeping the sponsor updated as to results, exposure, races / events attended, by how many, etc. What are they getting for their money?
- Official keeper of the results - if the team has a "pay for results" system, you might be in charge of that. If that's somebody else's job, you should be the official person who gives results to him.
- Race / event day logistics, support, strategery. When's the first race, where's breakfast, what time do we get up, get ice for the coolers, get a good parking spot w/shade or bathrooms nearby, make sure everybody's there and ready to race, pin numbers, last minute tire pumping, get spare wheels to the pit w/ numbers on them, have handups ready, make sure everybody starts their race on time, etc. Lead a pre-race team meeting to plan strategery, if your team is that cohesive. IF you're not racing, watch breaks, give time checks and useful info, and take pictures.
Post-race, get the the wheels back (#1 lost item at races!) get the numbers or timing chips back to the promoter if they want them, get the results (use a digicam for proof), if any protests, help out with that (be aware of the time limits to protest results), get the vehicle(s) unlocked and the coolers ready, get everybody toweled off and changed, take some post-race notes / team meeting to review and learn, get outta Dodge.
Good luck...
