Just a brief note to thank Dale for a fantastic time in Greensboro. This was my first time there, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment.

As others have said, I was made to feel welcome from the moment I arrived until the moment I left, and there's little better than that.

Concerning the Cinelli *B* that won "Best in Show" I was so dazed when Dale announced it, I committed the faux pas of not grabbing the mic and just mentioning that the bike came from Jack Bissell, who acquired it from Carsten Rehbein. If Carsten hadn't been alert enough to buy it from the original owner, and if Jack hadn't snapped it up when it appeared on ebay, none of us would get to see it. Way I look at it, I'm just a caretaker lucky enough to have friends with more informed and refined taste than I do.

We're all lucky in our bike-friends and that is, surely, the best thing about the Cirque.
