Thank You

Wow, looking back it's been over a year since I had anything worth while to say. Honestly this may still not be worth while but I'm going to say it anyway.

Believe it or not I'm starting my 8th season of racing bikes. In that time I've learned lots about the sport and even more about myself. But there is one thing that sticks out in my head more than anything else...people.

I am a firm believe that the people that race bicycles and their families are some of the nicest, most helpful people you will find. And, not to gloat but our team/club has the cream of the crop. We are coming off of a two day weekend set of races for I'm pretty sure the sixth time. I'll be honest the first few were a stretch and had a huge learning curve, but with the help of the team and their families we were able to pull it off and the racers seemed to really like it. The last few years, my counterpart will most certainly agree think, have gotten much easier. Well, this year both Jon and I have been really busy with life, work and general "things" to put much time in it. We were amazed this weekend that everything just "flowed" volunteers showed up and did what they always do, brought what they always bring and it was beautiful. We once again received so many appreciative comments that they are too many to mention. I just hope that these riders and their families said the same thing to the volunteers that were the ones that actually made this whole thing happen.

And again, to any of our club members, race members or any of their families....THANK YOU!!! I can't stress enough how important each and everyone of you are to our organization...and me as a person.
