*Giant round of applause* Cause you rock!!! I don't know anyone who could ride in the conditions you said of, because they sound incredibly difficult, but you did and I think it's amazing

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your experience with us. It really is an incredible event and I'm so happy for Patrick that the Challenge and the Center get all this support from the community and beyond. And I'm so happy for you who managed to get in your "Thank you". Cudos to Erin for paving the way by all her talking LOL
It was really nice meeting you, Susan, & Beth this weekend! You did a wonderful job on the 50 miler. Kudos to you for sticking to your commitment even with the heinous weather conditions. You are a rockstar. So very happy you finally got your moment to speak with Patrick and thank him for TDC. YOU deserved that moment. Looking forward to TDC 2013!!! Trace
