Wow...what a great experience. This was my first ever organized bike ride and it was amazing. My goal was 50 miles and I rode 60. Kudos to you and your team for a well organized event. I look forward to next year.

My group had a BALL. I was a bit nervous about such a daunting distance, so I jokingly referred to the ride as "The I Hope I Make it Ride." My husband and I, along with our friend, did complete our first century ride along your lovely and well-marked course. The lunch was dee-licious and really hit the spot. The SAG support was...well...supportive. My husband's chain broke, and your repairman had him back on the road in about thirty minutes. All in all, it was a great day. We are looking forward to next year. I'm sure our sore muscles will be rarin' to go by then.

Once again your crew did a wonderful job. This ride remains one of my annual favorites and is well worth the drive from Cincinnati. However we ask that next year you lose the headwinds and keep the tailwinds!

Just wanted to congratulate you on a job well done. I was amazed by the turn out of your event and how well organized it was. This was my first Hope Ride and it won't be my last. Definetly, the most enjoyable ride I've had all year.

P.S. - There truly is "Ninja Support at every intersection"

You don't need to improve a thing! The ride was great, the food was wonderful and plenty of it, the best SAG stops of any ride, and all the workers are friendly and helpful. What more can we ask for? Oh, I almost forgot...the T-shirts are wonderful and funny. Also, your mailers are cute and funny. It's the only one I actually put up on my refrigerator. I'll be back next year.....don't change anything!!!
