As the Hilly Hundred begins its next 40 year run, I can speak for the entire leadership of CIBA and the Hilly itself when I say THANKS to you. The success of the greatest weekend bike tour in the entire country can be attributed to its participants. Those of you who return year after year, those of you have brought and continue to bring your cycling friends, those of you who spread the word of our great event, those of you …………. Well, you get the point. Sure, we often pay tribute to our volunteers, the school, the local residents, all of whom are important in the conducting of the Hilly. And this is not intended to diminish their importance. But all of their efforts would be irrelevant if it weren’t for the riders who return year after year. You have endured the bad weather with the good, you’ve maintained a great attitude as our event grows and outgrows certain aspects of past Hillys, you’ve always considered the glass as half full when problems have arisen, and you’ve showered us with your comments after each Hilly with the intent of making a great event even greater. Once again, the directors of the Hilly Hundred are approaching the 2008 event just as they have in past years, with the goal of making this year’s event the best ever. In the process of doing this, we continue the traditions that seem popular, and we innovate to improve certain matters, trying to begin new traditions. Just as we have second and third generation riders coming to the Hilly, we are hoping to prepare for many future generations by remaining vibrant and young in our attitudes toward this event.Managing Director |
