I just wanted to let everybody know what is happening for next year. I am going to be taking the next several weeks/months to look at the things that could be improved, the things that could be done without and the things that worked well and need to be retained. I have been reading around the internet and your post-race notes are extremely insightful. This event can only get better with your help. I am going to be dropping little bits of information here as I get them ready. I still have more photos that I have to get up here on the site as well as any other additional race day information that I have yet to mentally process.

About next year though, there are a couple of dates to keep in mind. May 16th, 2009 is going to be the official race day. This is the Saturday following Mother's Day. There is also a fairly definite chance that there will be some pre-race festivities on Friday the 15th, but I will get back to that down the road a bit. At any rate, thanks again for taking the time to get on your bikes and ride.
