    Thanks for putting this event together. The course was super fun and who could have asked for better weather.

    Great, although I would prefer you to extend your series into December and leave September for the fantastic road and mountain-biking that Washington offers.

    Nice job on the whole series. Only made two of the races, but both were great fun.

    Will hit a few more next year…..
