The game is over. Once again our small family of bike designers, builders, racers, and volunteers has had to say goodbye.
It's never easy leaving this place after a week of competition. Sometimes I think that it would be nice to have a place that we could all live in throughout the year so we could continue to help each other reach our goals. Fortunately we do have places like recumbents.com and Facebook so we can share our progress.
I look forward to next year, and have some plans in the works for new streamliner designs. Many of us at the awards banquet were already talking about changes that we have in the works. If you have a dream you should pursue it. The worst thing to deal with is regret. I highly encourage any newcomers to come out with a machine to Battle Mountain next year. Start building now though. Time goes by fast, and it will be race day once again before you know it.
I plan to post more pictures to Flickr, and my Facebook page when I get home. First off I have a 12 hour drive. Wish me luck.
