1) Thanks to the Crusade Crew (and their families) for putting this on. You started off the new era with a stellar performance. Great courses both days. Of course!

2) Thanks to the super sponsors of the Crusade. Your support of these and other promoters really is the keystone of making these events happen year in and out. A special shout out to Alpenrose. Their core support of OBRA saves every member $ for their family, bikes and milk.

3) Thanks to the OBRA officials. They put so much work into big events like this (and the smaller ones as well) much of which we racers do not even know gets done. I kept thinking about their pro / committed work every time I rode by and listened to numbers being said....knowing they were being recorded.....and on and on.
All of you are good at what you do. Thanks for stepping up so we can race our bikes and whine.

4) Thanks Luciano / The Smooth Voice and Mr. Even.

5) Last but never least. Thanks to all the people coming out to support family, friends and fellow racers. The show moves to the Gorge next weekend.
