Thank You so very much for helping to make Cycle North Carolina one of the finest experiences of my life!!! The Pain Train was an AWESOME highlight to an AWESOME week!!! The opportunity to meet, ride, talk, and hang out with each of you was GREAT!!! I especially miss the rides already!!! Geez, that was AWESOME…
You are an exceptionally fine group of folks who helped make all of this possible. A heartfelt thanks to Racing Bob, Pain Train Conductor, whose pulls were monumental and whose class and grace is even more so.
I hope your travels home are completed, your respective families are fine, and your riding will be fun and very, very, very safe. Drop me a line. See you next year !!!
Thanks to you and "Monster Thighs", for dragging me along for the short time I could hang with ya. Hopefully next year I can drag y'all! For a little while at least.
It was a great first time for me, mostly cuz of all the wonderful folks I met. Take it easy TV star!
CNC was GREAT and I'm glad I did it. As a racing cyclist, touring was not part of my training schedule. Since retiring from work I had more free time and the 2006 CNC looked like a nice ride to start my winter training cycle. The ride was fantastic but so were all the people I met and the new friends I made. I will definitly plan to make CNC again next year. The PAIN TRAIN will ride again! Hats off to Bubba and his crew for the great pampering. A special "Hi" to Luke(no worries mate) and LP(beer lady). If you like tent camping, Bubba is the only way to go.
Scott - you have strong legs, keep training, you will lead the PAIN TRAIN next year.
Hammer girl - your a strong rider, believe you can do it and you will.
Tennessee Bill - your the man, hang with us for on all days next year.
Jack Attack the Century Champ - See you next year when you push the pace.
Froggy and Lady Froggy - You can do it!
Mass. Mike - Good riding!
Love to all and Be safe! Racing Bob. ltrpk@verizon.net
