Great stuff !! This being our first Cirque, we didn't really know what to expect, but now I know why this is a must-do event. Dale does a fantastic job, along with the rest of his Cycles de Oro crew. It's nice to see folks coming together for an event that is all about the appreciation of lightweight vintage bikes, and not just about the commercial aspect of things.

There were certainly enough temptations - yet I managed to keep somewhat restrained. I was lucky to find enough bits and pieces to finish (and start) a couple of projects. So while I was smug about my restraint, Leif managed to make up the deficit, and we wound up paying for excess baggage on our flight home !!

What a treat to be able to finaly put faces to some of the e-mail addresses, and to, as Aldo suggested, put people into "3 dimensional form". I am terrible with matching names to faces, so I'm sure that by the Larz Anderson, I'll be needing a few reminders. Please indulge me.

Thanks to everyone, and especially to Dale for making this event so much fun, and a great place to be. See you all next year, if not sooner.
