2006 Cruise the Blues Wrap-Up

Cruise the Blues 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,

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 it all together.  You do an amazing job of providing an event that gives the participants an experience that they will remember always 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 a bicycle for fun.  The small children just out of training wheels to the grandmas and grandpas coming to watch them 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 families have become avid bicyclist 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 for ever.  Success doesn't have to come in large doses or from grandiose plans and the happiness you provide for so many should make you very proud.  Because you know that each and everyone has either learned something about themselves or done something they didn't think they could do, that's awesome.

Terry and I had a great time, so thanks for all the hard work and consideration and if you decide to do it next year call us early, we'll be there to help anyway we can.

Bud
