Every attendee will have a different view of the highs and lows for Cirque weekend. Some of those points on each others list might be the same as some others some different. So here are a few of mine. The highs: Rooming with Tom Sanders or should I say his bikes. Tom takes great care in building his bikes and it shows a real treat to see them every time I walk into the room. Riding with and talking with Peter Weigle. Peter gave me a studio photo of my Weigle that was taken right after he built it in December 1984. Watching the movement of Guy Apples Peter Johnson under him as he pedaled, you could tell the bike was a dream to ride. Seeing 5 Raulers at the Cirque and knowing there are other collectors that want to put one in the stable. Buying a new/old Rauler with 2 water bottle bosses and a pump peg. Thanks Stratton. Jonathan Greens sense of humor. Having Nick for a taxi driver. All the great folks in attendance. And last and most certainly the best for me was seeing Dale get giddy at dinner on Sunday when he could finally relax and let loose. The lows: saying goodbye and knowing it will be a year before this great event happens again.
