Thanks to all who participated in the 2011 Piece of Cake road race -- and congratulations to all who finished this challenging course. I really appreciate all of the positive comments about the race. Even the officials were telling me that POC provided some of the most exciting racing they have seen in a long time.

Thank you for supporting the Perrydale School Girls Softball Team Bake Sale and for being good OBRA citizens: the bake sale made about $500 and they are happy.

Thanks to our fine sponsors Bike N Hike, Hopworks, Nancy's, Kool Stop, Sports Nutrition Center, Webcyclery, Enzo's, and Wenzel Coaching. Thanks also to Dave Aldersebaes and Ironclad for providing a few pairs of really nice gloves as prizes.

Speaking of prizes: quite a few were left unclaimed.

* Those of you significantly out of town, please contact me and we'll see how to get prizes to you.

Whoever took Sue Butler's cake please return it with all of the frosting intact. Sue, we owe you one... just trying to figure out how to bake a gluten-free cake.

Lost and Found:
I have one unclaimed rear wheel. Identify it and I will tag it with your name and leave it for pick up at your convenience with other two other (identified) wheels at Bike N Hike on SE Grand on Wednesday.

Also: a saddlebag and a fleece jacket. Let me know if they are yours.

Thanks again for racing POC. See you in 2012!
