Rider Feedback
"Just wanted to say a big "THANK YOU" to all involved in the event. This was my first organized cycling event and it far exceeded my expectations. The route was marked very well. The people running the rest stops were incredibly friendly. I came with friends but made more along the way. I was also happy to get to know the Highlands community. I otherwise would have probably never ventured out there but is was quite lovely and I'm thinking of planning a date-night with my wife in the area."

"I just want to thank you for a fabulous riding event today. I have nothing bad to say from start to finish. I love how we got to take the ferry to the starting point of the ride. All the rest stops had everything I need. See you next year."
-GL, 100 miles
"We just wanted to thank you. We traveled from Utica, NY, for this ride and we definitely plan to come back next year. We were pleased with its organization, safety, course markings, rest areas, and overall friendliness of participants. It was a truly enjoyable experience."
-DM, 50 miles
"Just wanted to convey my appreciation for organizing a super duper ride/event. The road markings especially were beyond reproach. The rest areas were well equipped. Volunteers were ever cheerful. And the cruel climbs at the end of century... pure genius! Loved it all. To quote a gu'vnor, 'I'll be back.'"
-AS, 100 miles
"I had a great time at the ride Saturday. You guys did an excellent job! I have never done an organized ride before and I can't see how any others could be better than this experience. My thanks to all the volunteers, the police, and the rescue people."
