Wonderful Feedback:
“Thanks for a great ride. That was really one of the best. The weather was rough, but the people at every support stop were very friendly and happy to be there. The pizza and cake were a great touch. You guys are just getting better and better.” – Merrick Cohn

“Thanks for another great ride on Saturday. The area we rode in was beautiful. I can't believe I've never been out there before. Years ago we went out to see Christo's Umbrella Project but we didn't venture off the highway. It was another world back there. As usual the event was superb in every way. The rest stops were perfectly situated along the route and they were well stocked with friendly, enthusiastic volunteers. You've put together a nice calendar of events for 2003. I look forward to some of the new events and the new times for some of the old ones. It's a nice schedule overall.” – Lorraine Gersitz

“I meant to thank you last night for all the sag support that you had on Heartbreak. It was reassuring to see all the vans and cars that you had on the course. It was the most that I had seen on a ride in Southern California in quite some time. Although I must confess that it made it tempting on more than one occasion to wave one down to get a warm ride back to Palmdale. But I kept waiting for the promised tailwind instead.” - Tim Sullivan

"Thank you for the best sponsored event I have done. This was a very well organized event that I will be looking forward to again in the future." - Jeff Rooney

"Thanks for another spectacular ride. The route is great and simple. Great stops as always - I really like having fruit drinks at lunch for those of us that can't drink soda during a ride. The post-ride food was a very nice touch. I think the ride has even more climbing than you say! (although it is easy climbing) My Polar said just over 15,000 feet - for Central Coast and Knoxville it was under the "official" number about 5%. Thanks again. " - R. Brian Bowling

"I also wanted to thank you for the wonderful time I had on Saturday. This may have been one of the most spectacular rides I've been in, the diversity of the landscape was just amazing, making the miles go by with constant surprises and interest. Congratulations for coming up with such a wonderful course ! Also, your support was awesome ... A huge thanks to everyone who worked on the ride. Thanks again !!" - Philippe Gluckman

"I recently finished the Angeles Crest and Heart Break centuries, and I am impressed with the routes and the support! The support staff/volunteers on both rides were friendly and generous with their help, and the routes were beautiful -- especially the Heart Break 100. A rewarding experience overall! Thank you for these two challenging centuries. I look forward to participating in some of the Planet Ultra events to come." - Marcee Zari
