Thanks again to all of you - well, the vast majority of you, anyway - who came to race yesterday. We had the best POC weather I can ever recall, and a nice turnout, too. Dust! Who would have thought? Considering that portions of the course were under water last week, not I.

A special shout out to all you 4/5 riders who are so enthusiastic about racing. You are a joy to work with. Thank you for your support of this event.

And thank you to the women that came out to race, too. I'm glad we were able to provide a caravan for each of your groups.

Finally, special thanks to Bike N Hike, Hopworks, Kiwi Outdoor Rep Group, Enzo's, Cycle Soles, Nancy's, SNC Nutrition, KoolStop and Elk Cove Vineyards for sponsorship of the race!

I have just a few items that were left at the staging area. Identify and we'll figure out how to get them to you. Sorry if you didn't pick up your water bottles. They have been tossed.

Prizes not picked up or otherwise accounted for will be available at the Grand Avenue location of Bike N Hike on Thursday. I'll make another posting about who needs to pick up prizes by Wednesday.

Enjoy the day!
