All of us who participated had an awesome time, and the course you put together was right on time. It made great use of some of our best local gravel... Nice work!<BR/><BR/>My only regret is that, as the promoter, you chose to not actually race. I know you would have been right at the top of the standings had you actually been competing... You're riding super strong right now.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again, my friend. I look forward to riding with you soon.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>MGMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00377768960221628840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330667.post-57531423850692666872008-09-23T17:41:00.000-05:002008-09-23T17:41:00.000-05:00Thanks for coming to the event Matt.

That course was a tough one to figure out where to attack and where to just sit back and hold on, even though overall, I knew the roads we were on well. I just had never put all of them together into one ride... and that was the difference. Well, that and the fact that the on-the-road conditions were pretty tough in themselves. From the deep gravel, to the extreme washboards, to the gnarly dust, it was just a tough day in the saddle. Good for you for having the perseverance to see it through to the end, my friend!<BR/><BR/>And thanks for the kind words on the La Cruz too. I'm glad I was able to get my Chili Con Crosso built up and Jim was able to ride it in the Good Life race.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again Ben!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>MGMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00377768960221628840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330667.post-74324566770896668792008-09-23T09:13:00.000-05:002008-09-23T09:13:00.000-05:00MG - Nice report!

Also, nice La Cruz build, I rode with Jim for awhile, and had to admire that thing. I've liked that frame since Oly got his built up early this year.. Salsa makes some good lookin' frames.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00031247407797525883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330667.post-82048051510367344792008-09-22T16:05:00.000-05:002008-09-22T16:05:00.000-05:00No, thank you, my friend!!

I'm sorry we didn't break into that bottle of Templeton Rye while you were still here. <BR/><BR/>I couldn't resist the temptation last night, and long-story-short, it left me in a complete and utter state of luxuriance. That's the good stuff... Thanks again, my friend.<BR/><BR/>Talk to you soon, Dave.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>MGMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00377768960221628840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7330667.post-8816316478696787652008-09-22T14:37:00.000-05:002008-09-22T14:37:00.000-05:00Great ride and write up!
