Getting reminders for races

It's been on my list to offer some sort of email reminder notification for races. Just a quick email that goes out (if you've opted-in) that lets you know the race is 1month, 2 weeks away, 5 days, whatever...in short, the race is coming.

Is this a notification you guys would be interested in having be an option?

There's been a lot of races lately (and always more coming) and keeping track of what's when and how long I have to build has been a challenge. I'm an email guy so having a message drop in as a "hey, you better start building because the race is in 2 weeks" type thing I think would be handy. Your thoughts?
