THANK YOU!!!

Wow! What an amazing, amazing weekend! All we can say is a huge THANK YOU to everyone that made our opening weekend such a success. There were many people that did this and I don't think we can emphasize the importance of the combined contribution enough. We came to the cycling community a few months ago and did something that hadn't been done before - we asked everyone to prepay for race fees. The community responded by buying well over $1000.00 in CIB cards. We asked the community to pursue sponsors and the community responded by bringing in the key sponsors that helped make this a financial reality. We put a call out for volunteers to help build the track and we had a great, large group that came together and the track was built in one day! We had other tracks loan us equipment, we had a key volunteer from another track come out and help us with technology to get us through our first weekend. We asked other cycling communities and web sites to help us get the word out and they did without any hesitation at all. I say all this to make the point that this is the community's track and we should all be proud of what we were able to accomplish together. I know I've said it many times, but I really can't thank everyone enough! It was a GREAT day and it exceeded all of our expectations!!! We'll see everyone again in February!
