I want to shout out a big THANK YOU to the 2008 Cowbell Classic and Taylor S. for a $600 donation to the Tarheel Trailblazers. Taylor has made this a regular part of the Cowbell's legacy over the years and the Trailblazers are very grateful to be one of the beneficiaries of this race. We really appreciate it.

This reflects a continuing relationship the club has with many local sponsors and supporters. Among our race promoters, bike shops, other local businesses, land managers and all of the riders, there really is a stong and growing mountain biking community here in the greater Charlotte region. Its that entire community that has made our trails so successful and our future opportunities so bright.

Thank Taylor when you see him as we look forward to next year's Cowbell!

Jim Grover
President, Tarheel Trailblazers
