Here are some comments about the Monster Cookie.... The volunteers were incredibly friendly and fun, the route was great, and of course the weather you folks managed to bring in was the coup de grace. I look forward to the Watermelon and Peach rides later this summer, and to a great season overall. Thanks again for doing such a great job - keep it up! You and your club are to be complimented on a superb ride today. The support was great, your volunteers were SO nice, the food was excellent …and as a vegetarian this is the FIRST time I’ve told any club the food was excellent (delicious, FRESH lunch sandwiches on “real” bread!). The roads were well marked, the support getting out of “Dodge” (Salem) was tops…. It would have been a great ride even if it’d poured rain on me. I had 62 miles of FUN!! So thank you and your members – you’ll see me on your other rides this year, that’s for certain. Kudos! Thank you to every one who put so much work into the whole ride every thing was great food, marking, nice weather, sags, nice job with the police at all the intersections it was really nice very good job to all who swept the course it was really great a thank you to the people who hauled every thing around and set at the different crossings and a special thank you to John Maurice for getting it all put together again thank you JHM and all of the SCV volunteers. Thank you thank you 62 times thank you!. What an excellent day - great course, wonderful support, excellent cookies, and John - your really came through on the weather! Thanks to Scott's and Santiam for their support as well. A monster thanks to you all.
