2005 Cruise The Blues Wrap-Up Message
"2005 will go down in the record books as the year of SUN, MUD, and FUN! The day started out with sunny skies and a fast, moist course. All of the racers completed their first laps with smiles on their faces but that was soon to change. As time neared the 2 o’clock hour, the skies suddenly clouded up over the farm and a passing thunderstorm poured down rain for 10 minutes. Suddenly, those big pearly white smiles were gone as riders pushed their mud packed bikes through the Log Tents for lap 2. By 2:30pm, the sun was back and shining strong, but the now muddy course was taking its toll on the riders. Some called it quits but some used it as an opportunity to make a run on the competition. By 3:30pm, the course was back in shape for some fast lap times, but the rain had already retired some of the bikes."
