THANK YOU!

We have many people to thank. First of all, thank you to everyone who
participated - nearly 400 of you!

Thank you of course to the OBRA officials who do such a fine job of
keeping everything organized and scored.

Thank you to our many sponsors who made it possible for us to give
out prizes in every category, in addition to our famous medals.

Those sponsors are Word Web Design, Pat's Acres Racing Complex, Word
Racing, Bortolami's Pizzeria, The Athletic Company, Tuite Bicycle
Repair, HiFi Sound Bicycle Components, and Gigantic Brewing Company.

Also thanks to the presenting team Word-RCB by Cyclisme, and the CX
Pistols team for their volunteer help, and the Hart family for their
volunteer help. Also, Patrick Croasdaile (and Dan, and Jeanne, and
the other Patrick - basically the whole CX Pistols team) for
tremendous amounts of help with course setup and marketing, and the
entire crew at Pat's Acres, including superb announcing by Tony LaPorta.

Access to one of the islands was blocked off (due to rising river
levels), yet we still came up with a great course that everyone
enjoyed, and many natural obstacles. The course had a really nice
flow to it and a good variety. Even with the mud it was still a fast
course and lots of fun.

Thank you,

Sincerely,
Randy Word
