Long, Steve
I so agree. That was a blast, even though I went off course twice last
Monday and had to give up my plate position twice, after having gone
down on that darn hill that I didn't know how to take. Thanks to the guy
that told me how to take that hill. I never fell on it again after that.

Kris,
The group of folks you let design the course each week did such an
excellent job of making it a fast and yet technical challenge. Most
fantastic were all the newcomers (young and old) that really got to
realize how much fun mountain bike racing (bike racing) can be. They
got to test the waters without a huge investment. Now it will be up to
each one if they want to continue... but your efforts let them check it
out in a very positive environment. Thanks for giving them a chance and
for trusting your key course designers. They be good!!!!
Cross (for the love of mud) will be here before we know it.
