I would like to apologize for calling out the issues I had regarding the neutral wheel issues and the volunteer driver at Gorge Roubaix.
Should have contacted the race coordinators directly rather than bring to the chat room. Pretty embarrased with myself...
Organizers put on a great inaugural Gorge Roubaix with a fantastic course! Thanks again for a great event!

First off, I would like to say the Gorge Roubaix was excellent, and I will hopefully be back next year to do it again.
However, There is a small beef with neutral wheels for the master 4/5.
I brought a set of wheels for the master 4/5 and when dropping them off to the appropriate location, and noticed there were at least 10 other wheelsets to be ready for the neutral support car.
When needing a wheel upon an untimely flat and waiting close to 10' the support car (lesson learned...bring your flat kit and tube), there were 2 REALLY crappy wheelsets in the back...1 with a tire too big for road calipers and the other without a skewer. After the necessary fixes, I kept calm and carried on.
Not sure where all the wheels went for mater 4/5 that I saw at the start...
Not sure why you would submit wheels that wouldn't fit road brakes...
not sure why you would bring a wheels without skewers...
Other than that, aside from the flat...it was great.

Oh, one other thing at the master 4/5. Whoever was driving the white rally car that was to lead us out, came pretty damn close to takin out riders and a pickup truck, who was most likley a local...not good. That neutral driver was flat out reckless...
