Awesome Unsolicited and Totally Appreciated Feedback!
Thanks for a great ride on Saturday. As usual, the route and the support were excellent. I was surprised at how nice the scenery was. The wind was perfect 508 training, too bad it was so cool and comfortable. - Nicole Honda

The changes you made to the route were phenomenal. Please also thank all the volunteers for their support. Everywhere we turned, there was another water stop... Thank you all! The finish down Bouquet canyon was a real treat with its 20 miles(!) of smooth surface and gentle curves. It's hard to imagine a better way to finish a ride. Thank you guys again for all your efforts!!! -Mike Sturgill

Thank you very much for hosting a fantastic DC. This was my first Planet Ultra DC, but rest assured, it won't be my last. The scenery, weather, and route were phenomenal. Such varied beauty could only be appreciated on a bike. Volunteers were cheerful and more than willing to help out. SAG was always there, making sure that everything was all right.

Most sobering was the landscape along Pine Canyon, with all the burned oak trees and destruction of property. It must have been lush before the fires.

Regardless, thank you again for hosting a great event. I hope to participate in more Planet Ultra events next year. - Sincerely, Sterling Hada
