I couldn't agree more. After a couple of classes last summer with the expert tutelage of Bill Cass and Steve Garcia, the leap into actual racing on the track was much easier (and more fun) than I expected. Thanks to the Murrays, the Cadanous and all the rest of the folks Bill mentions who provide what really is an amazing cycling resource. Also thanks to Jamie and the hard-working officials who made the Friday night masters' races possible. -----Original Message----- From: Cass, Bill [mailto:bill.-@nike.com] Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 11:55 AM To: 'obra' Subject: [OBRA Chat] track class ============================================================ Get 11 Free CDs, with nothing more to buy, ever!

We had a bunch of first timers, a hungry group or riders ready to race and enough women to have their own field. We rolled some new riders up on the track, got some hearts racing and kept the shiny side up. It appeared as though everyone even had a good time. The goal of the program and my real hope is that a few of you will come out try your legs at a race on Thursday or Friday night. It is only a small mental leap from what most of you have done already. You have been training in bigger groups than usually show up for race nights. Alpenrose velodrome seems like such a normal part of cycling life here in Oregon we tend to forget how unique it really is. It is a true gift to you from the Cadonau family. There are very few tracks in the country and none is more accessible or active. I hope to see you all again sometime next year. I also wanted to send out a huge thanks to all those who came out and helped teach the class. James, Graham, Steve, Ron, Mike, Peter, John, Emily, Jamie, Darien, Chauncey and anyone else I missed. It is obvious that the class would not happen without you. Thanks also to Jack for keeping those bikes running for us. It is great to have such nice healthy machines to run the class with. Finally, it would not happen at all if it weren't for Mike and Candi and all the time, effort and money they have put toward the velodrome and making Oregon a great place to race a bicycle.
