Joel,

Sounds great and a lot of fun!! I wish you well in getting a lot of
riders to attend. I'm still learning all this stuff. If I find any
riders here on a park bench with a handcycle in their grocery cart,
I'll give them your home phone number. The Citizens Class is a great
idea!!

I could use some of your guidance with our event in Wenatchee, WA.
this September 24 and 25, 2004. We're having the Craig Blanchette
National Handcycle Rally and Time Trial. More to come on it, but like
you, we're hoping for a large turn out and an attractive prize purse.
The event is part of the Mike Utley Dam2Dam ride on Saturday. It
should be a lot of fun!!

We'll do all we can to help send folks your way. I hope you get a
chance to come to our event. I'll by the first round.

Good luck,

Ron Bajadali
