Charlie,

Huge thanks to you and your team for another stunningly well-run event this season. Very sad to read that a small minority chose to disrespect the entire OBRA community and your hard work by engaging in that kind of behavior. My hope is that the the guilty parties will take responsibility for their actions and apologize to the school administration, OBRA, and offer their volunteer services to help atone for the damage caused.

On a more lighter subject, anyone get photos of the start of the Men's C race?

The Veloce Racing Team would like to thank you all those who participated at Sunday's Battle at Barlow event. A special thanks to the Barlow HS Cross Country and Track & Field teams who provided the majority of volunteers along the course. Thank you to our officials!

And thank you to Jamis Bicycles donating a frame to raffle, to Veloce Bicycles for their continued support of the event and to everyone else who made yesterday a great day of racing.

I will not thank those of you who felt the need to urinate in public despite available porta-potties, or those who felt the need to use profanity so loudly as to be noticed by spectators. Neither of those actions are acceptable at any venue, but especially a high school with a JV baseball game happening.

Thanks to you few who couldn't ride to the porta potty or keep you language clean, we may now lose this venue.

All in all, it was a great day of racing and we hope to bring back the event in 2013 with an improved bridge, run-up and event!

Thanks,
Charlie
