Morning Everyone!
On behalf of Shannon, myself, and the Revenge Cycling & Promotions/Racing family ��� we would like to thank everyone for making our 2017 racing season a big success! A lot of great things came from the races this year, along with some new and lasting relationships. Nothing ever happens in cycling promotions without volunteers, sponsors, community support, and you the racers. We would like to recognize and say THANK YOU to an amazing group of people that are committed to working and support racing in Oregon.
Our Volunteers ��� Every year we are have been blessed with such amazing support. I just want to express how much we appreciate all the time and effort you gave us and the OBRA cycling community. Without you, we don���t have races! Special THANK YOU to the following:
Brenda Middleton ��� Every race she came out and helped set the course at 6AM, was one of our lead corner marshals at a critical intersection, and broke the course down ��� EVERY RACE! Never complained and always there with asmile! Racing without you wouldn���t be the same ��� Love ya! Tell BJ ��� THANK YOU!!!!
Raj Injety ��� Like Brenda, he was also a critical to our success this year! Not only was he at critical intersection on course as well, Raj came to our rescue and basically became the go-to for reconfiguring the OBRA truck after every race! He also helped me in my driveway for about 2 �� hours reconfiguring the truck that was received it in the worst condition I���ve ever seen it from another team. In the dark, the night before the race ��� and piece by piece he helped me put the truck back together so that it could ready in the morning! Sands Of Time My Friend!!!
Kate Riggs - Ms. Everything and Do Anything! Kate wasn���t just our medical support for all four races. She helped every race setting the course! With coffee in hand and smile, she ALWAYS jumped right in! She also was the official start holder for all the races. When everything was done, she also helped with breaking down everything and keeping me laughing! Thank you for all time you���ve given us this year and always willing to support us when in need!
Harry Phinney ��� Mr. Dependable. Every time, and I mean every time I needed help, Harry was the first to jump in and support our efforts. Having you at the races this year, made worry that much less. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Michael Longmire. Thank you and Julie for being there when needed this year! I know you have been going through a lot this year, and the conversations we had this weekend in the truck meant a lot to me. If you ever need anything from us, please let us know. We appreciate and love you both!
The Lee Family ��� (Mr. & Mrs. Lee) ��� When I need volunteers, it rare that I can get parents of a racer to support our events! I wouldn���t trade Mr. and Mrs. Lee for the world ��� you two are that AWESOME!

You are always my voice of reason when I don���t want to listen. You are teaching me patience in ways that I never thought possible. Teaching me to relax and focus of what is truly important. For all that you endure with me the night before a race and everything else that goes on behind the scenes ��� I LOVE YOU DEARLY!!!
That���s all I���ve got y ���all ��� WHEW! See you next year!!!!
Cheers!
