Dear OCC Members,

The 2008 edition of the Syracuse Grand Prix Cyclocross was a great  success; it never would have been possible without the proactive support and help by our volunteers. You folks did a fantastic job. I received many thanks from the racers which I want to pass on to you who deserve it: David Baker, Anthony Baleno, Marlene Cleary, Andrew D’Agati, Chuck Dominick, Bill Goffe, Don Healey, Adam Luban, Eddie Luban, Mike Lyon, Al Martinez, Wayne Miner, Kristin Mullally, Kate Stewart, Rich Veenstra, Katina Walker, Jeff Walker, Erik Wennberg, and Kathe Woicke.
Also, I want to thank in the name of the OCC the local bike stores who contributed prizes to our event: Advanced Cyclery, Bicycle Alley, Bike Loft, Bikery, and Wayne’s and Meltzer’s Syracuse Bicycle. This help significantly eased up the financial burden on our club. Without it,  the expensive chip timing probably would not have been possible. Last but not least I want to thank the Speed Skate Club (and Pete van Zwehl) for lending their lap counter, which looks so cool and  professional.

By the way, all who did not come out to the park missed a lot! What a  great fall day with excellent sport to watch in a beautiful park!

Again, thank you all very much and I hope I can count on you next year,
Jochen Woicke
