Cinderella Feedback




This was my first ride (bought my first bicycle in 40 years only 6 weeks
ago) and it was a wonderful experience. Everything seemed so well
organized. Lunch was fabulous. I'll be back next year!
Thanks for everything.

Hi -
Thanks for such a wonderful ride. It's always so
well-organized, staffed with very pleasant, helpful
people and you arranged for perfect weather as well!
Thanks again! I'm looking forward to 2004!

Hi Jim
The word I got back from the crew that went down, is that they had a
great time and that we plan to return next year. Thanks for thinking of us and
good job on promoting women's cycling.

I had a great time last Saturday. I had never done a 65 mile ride before. It
was a wonderful day and a great ride. Thanks!

Dear Jim:

Thank you for hosting the 2003 Cinderella Classic. I'd never attended before,
and it was a great event for us to show off our new women's products. Here are
a few photos I took at the event. I think I have some new ideas for a women's
cycling clothing line.....

Best regards,

Jim,
What a wonderful event you put on last weekend. I'm sure you must still be
resting up from all the hard work. From what I saw and what my wife and her
friends all tell me the support on the road and rest stops were fantastic.
I'm very impressed!!
Again thanks for everything and congratulations on a very successful event.

Hi Jim,

Great ride! Great Expo! The registration was fantastic
this year. Count us in for next year -- we'll be there with glass slippers ;)

What a wonderful ride-thank you!! You did a superb job on communication
(directions, etc.) check in was fast, and the rest stops were great with real
food at lunch (one gets tired of Cliff bars). Lots of porta potties too were
appreciated. Lovely route, of course, and very well marked. I think I echo
the delight of many women who had a most enjoyable day!! I will look forward
to the ride next year!

Hello! I wanted to tell you how wonderful this ride was. It was so well
organized and supported! Your workers were all fabulous! The food was great!
It was super to have hand-washing stations too! The sag support was visable
always - and readilly available. (We used it to put air in my tire and then
eventually to replace an inner tube so I could finish a little easier - air
helps!) Thanks for such a positive experience! This was my first big ride and
my first organized event. I'm a runner and have done lots of running events,
including a marathon, and this was well done! I'll be back next year for sure!
Again - thanks for a great positive experience. It helps me want to cross-train
again! Keep smiling - Debbie :) (The lemon drop man was a very cool idea and
he was nice! So fun!) :)

Thank you for hosting Velo Girls at Cinderella this year. As always, it was an
incredible event and it was such a positive experience for our club. Thank you
for everything you do!

Jim and Bob,

I think you two have developed into a great team. I thought last year was
great, but I have to say - in watching the women at registration, out on the
road, at stops and then back for lunch and check-in - everyone seemed so
relaxed and happy. We had a flat in our group on Tassajara and I had just
finished changing it and was struggling getting enough air in the tire, when
not one, not two, but three sag vehicles pulled next to us (we were in a bus
stop across from the shopping center). Of course they had a floor pump and
we were on our way. And as it happens, there were two more flats just a
block down the road - so the sags were greatly appreciated. We had such a
fun time. I hope I can help more next year - as the kids grow older each
year, I am able to help more. Thanks again for giving so much of your time
for such a wonderful day.

Hi Jim et al,

Just wanted to send you all a big CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU for such a
great event on Saturday! The ride and the expo were fabulous. Oh and the
food was amazing. I have never eaten so well while on a ride!

Thank you for all your support in getting TNT set up in the expo area too.
We had a good turnout and all of us at the Leukemia Society are grateful for
your support.

This was my first Cinderella Ride and I will definitely be back.

Cheers,
Lisa
