I absolutely agree with what John and others have said, thank you all. It was a phenomenal year.
I also have noticed something in the last few years. The level of rider ability and bike preparation has improved dramatically over the past seasons. There are very few, if any, crappy looking bikes out there. Generally, racers are all respecting each other and racing within their skills. This has resulted in fewer oil spills, fewer contacts and crashes, better race time, far less injuries/hospital trips/lost work time and importantly, better club image!
Some of it can be attributed to newer more reliable bikes but the older stuff is still out there and is being well prepared and maintained. Pride of ownership is everywhere. I had the pleasure of looking across at the beautiful builds of Brian S and John S all GP weekend and appreciated all the time and skill that went into them.
It looks good on us. I heard very good comments from people who regularly attend CSBK events. So keep it up people. It's things like this that will make us thrive!
The trouble with trouble is that it starts out as fun.
