"To me it doesn’t matter how well an event is organized or not organized, it’s the people that are in it that make the difference and I could not ask for better participants from the events I have put on over the past several years. I wouldn't still be doing what I do if it wasn't for you guys!  You are all so excited, so pumped, so supportive, positive, flexible, and all just willing to go with the flow and take on what ever I throw at you! I run these events to allow riders the opportunity to explore new places, meet new friends, ride amazing trails, challenge yourselves, reach new limits, experience life changing forever memorable experiences, all while putting a beer in your hands at the finish line of every day!  That's all the matters really! Who cares who actually wins the event, because you all win in my mind! I don't want these events to become too political and serious and the moment they do, I will walk away from it. So my gratitude extends to how rad all the participants are, and also correlates to the sponsors’ support, unbelievable local communities and club support across BC, the volunteers and beyond. Every piece of the puzzle is important and I am so thrilled to have such amazing people in my life and have met so many more over the past few years through these events and the unbelievable support that you have all provided.
