Forwarded from Matt Ohran:
Wow. There were so many people racing. 218 racers (this includes those who raced twice.)
The Greatest part of that number is that we had 47 Juniors race. Unbelievable!!!!!! Mike Pratt from Canyon Bicycles said they had 27 bikes raced yesterday.
My Hat goes off to everyone racing in the 9:30 race. All those Juniors out there. 42 C men racing their hearts out and not one complaint from anyone. Everyone watches out for those Juniors. Great to see.
On another note, regarding the Awards Party that we usually do after the final race in Ogden.
Since we added an additional wave, the last race ends even later in the day. For those 9:30 am racers waiting for that awards Party could make for a pretty long day. So I am thinking of holding the Awards Party probably at least 2 weeks after the final race.
I know Jon is the biggest fan of this idea as getting Series Points done will also be pretty much impossible with the addition of some new categories. So we have some growing pains but they are good problems to have.
Somewhere in the SLC area. Any ideas as to where? Who could cater the party?
Please send me an e-mail at utahcyclocross@msn.com with suggestions.
I am off to Costa Rica to hike up some big Volcanos in the Mud (they call this La Ruta de Los Conquistadors a Mountain Bike Race. We will see how much Mountain Biking is involved.
Reports are that record rains are going to make this the muddiest edition of the race ever.) Great. I cant wait.
See www.adventurerace.com or www.monaviecannondale.com (hopefully we will be able to update this site with our adventures.) Nov 14th-17th.
So I will be away from e-mail until after Nov, 22nd. Send me your thoughts.
Again thanks to everyone including: Contender Bicycles, Revolution, Bikers Edge, Canyon Bicycles, Binghams, Scott, Cannondale, The Raw Bean, MonaVie, Gardie and Bruce, Steven Lewis (Super Domestique), Steven Sheffield, and of course Jon and Ellie Gallagher.
Tell all your friends and let's continue this. 3 more races to go...... Matt Ohran
