The High Uintas Classic is one the best organized races in the area. Compliments to the Evanston Cycling Club and all other people who pulled off another great one.

Ditto. This was my first race, and I was quite impressed with the setup and organization both in Kamas and at the finish.

You guys also did a great job picking the weather, although they promised at the start that the wind would help blow us UP the hill, but I could swear that we were going into the wind the entire time.

Thanks. You guys did great.

This is one of the premier races in the west. No other race I've participated in is run as smoothly and intelligently as this one. The pizza, prizes, and drinks were great. This race is so unique, a real jem. Thanks to the promoters, helpers, and City of Evanston for all the hard work, making it all possible.
Thanks,
Pete Kuennemann & Ogden One Cycling Club

Great race again, indeed. From the friendly race volunteers to the way it's orchestrated, nothing but a class operation and a positive experience for all racers. Fantastic job, High Uintas Classic Race Committee - We'll be back!

I've been to a couple NRC races and the High Uintas Classic puts those to shame. The volunteers and race support is totally unmatched. The organization -- flawless. I really can't think of another race that surpasses the High Uintas pound for pound, mile for mile. Huge kudos to the Evanston Cycling Club, the myriad sponspors (which I supported in every way), the City of Evanston and all of the volunteer efforts that made this event such a success. I will spread the gospel to my fellow racers in Reno and hope to attend with bigger numbers next year.

Thanks to everyone for participating in the High Uintas Classic Stage Race. The Evanston Cycling Club and the City of Evanston appreciate your support of this long tenured community event. Hopefully, participation numbers will rebound next year. Thank you as well for the gracious comments about the race that we have received from many participants. We are compiling all comments for our race summary report. Thanks again. Paul Knopf, City Planner/Race Coordinator

Thanks again for an amazing race. The organization is top notch to go along with a great venue and excellent volunteer help. The Jackson Hole riders really appreciate this race because it is one of the few races within a 4 hour drive and we love the climbing! It would be a serious blow to the region's cycling calender if this race were to disappear.

Thank you to the organizers of the High Uintas Classic and to the people and town of Evanston. I brought three riders to the race from out of state. All of them had a GREAT time and hope to come back next year because of the great experience. My riders are from New Hampshire, Florida and Georgia. Imagine what they thought when they went "OVer the top". Thank you again!

It is always a pleasure to race at High Unitas. I spent many years racing in MN where races are not nearly as well organized, sponsored or officiated. I have been spoiled since moving west and experiencing races like the High Unitas. A special thanks to the sponsors--I won the downhill skis from Bootworks. It is the first time I have won anything significant at a race raffle. It certainly made my day!

This is a great race. One of the few stage races in Wyoming and it needs to stay around. Great climbing and I love the crit. The closest stage race that people from Jackson can get to. Keep up the great work.
