To all racers, volunteers, sponsors, spectators and officials:

I would like to send out my heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated at the Inaugural Franz Bakery Criterium p/b Veloce Bicycles. A big thank you to Franz Bakery, Veloce Bicycles and Madison's Grill for their support of this first year event.

Please support this local company, Franz Bakery, by purchasing their products and thanking them for their participation. The company went out of their way to ensure the course was clear of their delivery trucks for the event.

I would especially like to thank Courtney Ries, Sallyanne Ellis, Michael Benno, Stephanie Chase, Jon Ragsdale, members of the Veloce team and all volunteers for their assistance the day of the event with set-up, corner marshaling and tear down. I would also like to thank everyone who donated prizes for the event, your support is greatly appreciated.

I look forward to bringing this event back in 2011. If you were at the event and have a suggestion for next year, please send it to me off list.

See you in 2011!

Charlie
