Subject: [CR]One more Cirque report, but from some different angles

The bikes were great, but people stole the show. The old friends, the newbies were great. Some really interesting new folks that really added a lot to everyone's enjoyment of the show. Best bike there to not win a prize ( I don't think it did, anyway)...Guy Apple's new Peter Johnson...Wow! Best bike carrier...Peter Koskinian's huge truck full of goodies...He also would win Best Hawaiian Shirt, too, if there were such an award. Best activity...helping clean out Dale's bike building behind his house Thursday afternoon. A bunch of us went over there and got more playing and ogling in than work, but Dale was good natured about it and seemed to enjoy it as much as we did. Best Meal...Monterey Mexican on Sunday night. Most improved meal...the Saturday night dinner at the banquet...better than last year. Worst meal...I thought it would be the Thursday night sea food place which sure did not set the world on fire, but the cold, indifferent Salmon at the Italian place on Friday night was a really weak meal for $17...Surely there is better food in Greensboro than that...perhaps the wood fired pizza place by Dales' might be worth looking into...or Stamey's Bar-B-Que? Best non bike thing I saw in the area...I drove to the top of Pilot Mountain a little ways out of town and it was mind blowing...2000 foot cliffs all around...it looked like Valhalla! Not enough time to do everything I wanted to do and too little time with friends...looking forward to getting together with some of them later this year. Dale was once again the perfect host and lots of folks need to be thanked
for their hard work.
