Alpenrose and...

Agreed. Great course set-up today. I hope the knights tweak all the courses this year — absolutely phenomenal way to use such a small area. Plus, as a Master C who staged near the back, I get a free lap at conversational pace to really explore things!

I kid, I kid.

This was my 9th one and I was amazed at how they made such good use of the grounds for all areas regarding the race. First the course, the viewing access, the vendors and even allowing more parking by not taking the course far down to the East. They also worked with the OBRA officials to meet all their needs. All this and the crew was all over the place keeping the tape and stakes up while offering racing wit and wisdom to those on the course.

In my opinion..........( I do offer in now and then).

What the Crusade designers gave us to race today was probably the most challenging Crusade Alpenrose I have ever done. This was my 9th one and I was amazed at how they made such good use of the grounds for all areas regarding the race. First the course, the viewing access, the vendors and even allowing more parking by not taking the course far down to the East. They also worked with the OBRA officials to meet all their needs. All this and the crew was all over the place keeping the tape and stakes up while offering racing wit and wisdom to those on the course.

For us (except for various personal interaction with the dirt, gravel, pavement, grass or fellow riders / bikes...........it was Seamless. These guys are as good as it gets. They start with a good foundation, are flexible and communicate with each other so well, it makes the race day like clockwork for us.
Good job all and next time you start to whine............really think about it and realize how lucky we are to have such dedication.

This takes NOTHING away from the other promoters doing their super fun races. Those folks are bringing it as well. I mean wow they are coming up with some great venues. It is just the pressures on the Crusade have made them operate at this amazing high level.
OBRA rocks.
