2006 Cruise The Blues Wrap-Up Message
"2006 was another successful year! We'd like to thank everyone for coming out to spend the day with us. We had a record attendance with 145 registered riders and 38 participants in the Cruiz'n Kids ride! The weather posed a threat initially, but everyone kept a good attitude and started the race with smiles! Riders turned out some blazing fast lap times. We enjoyed having everyone on the farm again this year. See all of you next year!"
- Doug and Tracey Palen
"Just a short note to congratulate you on a great weekend! I know on your end it can be a frantic and stressful summer trying to pull this all together. You do an amazing job providing an event that gives the participants an experience that they will always remember and tell lots of stories about. It is challenging, rewarding, and most of all designed to have a lot of fun. My favorite part of the weekend is watching everyone, young and old, bonding with their bicycles and having fun. From the small children just out of training wheels to the grandmas and grandpas coming to watch them... They know it's the right place to be. It's so fun to watch the kids dress up their bikes with light sticks and making up games that include their bikes.
Terry's sister's family has become avid bicyclists because they can come and have fun. But when they win a small trophy or climb on the stand as a winner, they'll cherish that forever. Success doesn't have to come in large doses or from grandiose plans... The happiness you provide for so many should make you very proud. Because you know that each and every one of us has either learned something about themselves or done something they didn't think they could do, and that's awesome. Terry and I had a great time, so thanks for all the hard work and consideration."
