A Paskenta Thank You!

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to send a quick Thank You to all of your who took part in this year's Paskenta Century - thank you ALL!! And I would also like to thank the Chico Corsa Cycling Club for providing a rest stop at Woodson Bridge - and Alex Blease, Michael Farris, Geno Gruber, Madison Gruber and Mike Crumm for all the water bottle hand-ups & support during the ride. We had some GREAT weather this year for Paskenta - although it started to get a bit breezy out there........and that gravel.....egads.....that was the gnarliest I've seen the gravel section in quite some time(tons of flats this year too). I would like to also give a massive thank you to Kevin Speacht for helping me in the R.A.C.E.mobile this year - and for fixing flats left and right, and handing out Coca-Colas to the riders - thank you Kevin!!

Congratulations go out to professional rider - Paul Mach - for "winning" this year's Paskenta!
