Thanks to all that came out to race and special THANK YOU to all the volunteers that made the event possible.  I'd like to extend a big appreciation to Brian Cardona for his commitment and work this year again with the towns and police - and well anything other thing that needed to be done. A HUGE THANK YOU to The Full Moon Vista crew and Scott Pagefor making the event extra special.  Few people realize what Full Moon puts into making these events a success - from tents, music, and wheel support to just caring about making cycling here great.  Stop into the shop and let the crew know you appreciate their efforts and support the shops that make YOUR racing possible!

We had 179 riders this year, so it was one of our best attended races.  Our P1-3 field was one of the best depth-wise ever as well -  and the race speed showed it.  The women's race was also one of the best attended and it is great to see that group growing in number and talent.

With our growth we do have some growing pains though - that being that cyclists need to be more aware of traffic on the roads.  There were a couple of instances of riders being discourteous to motorists or riding unsafely and we need to make sure that it doesn't continue so that the communities that welcome us continue to do so.

Thanks again everyone for your help and enthusiasm.  See you on the roads. - TS

NOTE: We experienced some issues with a number of chips not reading at this year's race.  We have gone over the results and have tried to repair that damage as best we can.  Repaired Cat 5 race results have been re-posted now.  I understand that there will still be a few errors.  If your number was missed I cannot now place you, but I can at least put you at the end of the group as having finished.

Thank for your patience.  Our chip service people are working to find out why some chips malfunctioned so that future results will again be quick and accurate for all riders. - TS
