What's Up Folks,
Thanks for all the congrats, it was quite the surprise when Pam called my name. Brenna was freezing, and if it wasn't for the fine folks and food inside, we would have split quickly. I'm obviously glad we stayed.
Many people are saying it's nice to win something like that, but I don't consider myself winning it.
I feel it's something you earn.
In that, if it is indeed something I earned, I couldn't have earned it with out cycling in general, but especially not without all of you specifically.
Most of the cycling adventures I get into are just Ideas thrown out in casual conversations, with a little bit of Crazy in them. It takes all the extra hands to bring those ideas to life. The Mt Trashmore Cross race, takes the entire team......yes my idea, but everyone's creation. I held cross clinics, but because of work, Kevin led most of them in my tardiness. Liz handled a ton of behind the scenes work in all things we did.
I can keep listing names, but I fear I'll miss someone, and you all know who you are.
Thanks to my Family for bringing me up to be a Hosang
My wonderful Wife for putting up with my hard training, and training with me, and all the time I spend in the last half of the year gearing up for the race.
Walt and Charles for getting me my start, Don Peterson for helping me through a tough few years with knee surgeries, and everyone else along the way.
I can be overbearing at times and sometimes frank to the point of being rude, and if I've ever offended anyone I apologize.
I sincerely appreciate the friends I've made through out the years, and hope to enjoy many more years riding and racing with all of you.
Thanks Again,
Crazy
