Thank you, Columbia and Adair County Twenty nine outstanding collegiate cycling teams found a home in Adair Co., KY, over the past weekend, and many of them plan to return. Lindsey Wilson Coach David Grigsby commends 'incredibly gracious hosts.' Coach Grigsby hopes a similar event can be held next year. -CM By David Grigsby, Lindsey Wilson Cycling Coach Columbia and Adair county did more than just open its arms to our program, our home race, and the visiting cyclists. Columbia and Adair county reached out and welcomed our event and our visitors with open hearts and kind words of praise and encouragement. I cannot say enough good things about both the Purdy Church and the Kellyville Church. Both of these wonderful congregations allowed us to come into their homes, use their facilities, their property, and were incredibly gracious hosts. We could not have held the events without parking, a building, restrooms and running water. We could not have held the event without the use of the facilities at Adair County High School for the Sunday races. We could not have held the event without our wonderful volunteers who manned corners on the road, and we couldn't have held the event without drivers being courteous, patient, and extra cautious when passing the riders. I cannot imagine how we would have gotten the word out about our race so effectively and on such short notice, without Columbia Magazine. So much goes into planning and hosting a race like this, and time after time our community went out of their way to make it happen, in big ways and small. We had so much positive feedback from the riders who came from as far away as Michigan and Wisconsin. They loved the area, the course, the facilities, the parking, and the hospitality they were shown. We heard time and again how beautiful the courses were and how little traffic they encountered. They loved our hills, our volunteers, and the fact that they were made to feel like visiting family rather than invaders taking up space on our roads. They loved Snake Creek, and they loved Little Cake. It was a good feeling to be on the receiving end of such praise, but difficult knowing that credit was being misplaced. I wish I could share all the wonderful things that the participants said about our community, our churches and our people. But suffice it to say it was consistently positive and heartfelt. I certainly hope we can do it again next year, for I know each of these riders will be back, and will in all likelihood bring friends. Thank you.
