Thanks to Alpine Shop and Twotimingguys for a great Dirt Crit Series! The only improvement I would suggest is more race dates next year.

+2 (The Sass and me)  Thanks to this series, Sass was able to try her hand at racing in an environment that was not intimidating and the confidence that she has gained has encouraged her to come out of her rather shy shell.  I am VERY grateful for this and the separate kids' race.  Thank you!

+1.  Great job.  Seemed like everything ran like clockwork.  

I thought you did a good job mixing up the courses given the limited options of that side of the park.  Now if only you could manage a beer variance....

+1 Here, Awesome job with organization, thanks to all the volunteers and thanks to the sponsors. This is the first real racing I've ever done and now I'm hooked, I've gotten used to this Thursday routine. Everyone who let me borrow a pump or gave me some tips before/after the race was great as well. Thanks!!

+1  Definitely a big thanks to all who made it run super smooth.  I haven't been in a real race since I was 14 and riding BMX, and I could not have gotten hooked faster this time around - I guess finishing well helps with that too!  I will definitely be racing for years to come, and will definitely try to get some more friends signed up so we can build the crop.

Thanks again!

Many thanks to all involved.  We've got a great group of mountain bike folks in this area.

+3 as well. I've been road racing for 3 years, but this was my first experience with mountain bike racing. I loved it, so much fun! I will be back for next season's series for sure. As for my sons, the kids races was an awesome aspect. It was their first experience racing, and they had so much fun. They've already been begging me to do more. Many thanks for a great July!

P.S. I second B.J.'s recommend on the beer varience

A Big Thanks to everyone involved in the Crits. Appreciate everything you did to make these races so fun.  No matter how I place, I have a blast every week and loved how the courses were mixed up each time.  My only question now is, What do I have to look forward to on thursday nights?

+1.5 (my buddy who WATCHED his first MTB races) Truly appreciate this event and everyone who contributes.  Loved the spiral last night; the CX guys were practically salivating....

The guy who came up with the design for the "Toilet Bowl" spiral of death is none other than Greg "the goat" Suter. He was there every Thursday evening helping set up and tear down plus checking the course after every race.
Downhills are fun. Uphills keep you young!
