CIRCLE COW

2012-01-23T07:33:00.001-08:00

Dear riders,The Circle Cow team would like to inform you that’s the 2012 edition is CANCELED !!!We have lost 2 main sponsors the last week and we tried to do our best to find another one.But unfortunately, it was impossible in a short time.Cancel this contest is a hard decision for us. But we hope you will understand us.We are all volunteers; we don’t do it for money, but for passion and for you.The Circle Cow is an event organized by riders for riders.We cannot afford to organize a pure contest without enough budget.You know all how the Circle Cow is and we cannot make as well as other years.We would like to thank KHE for their support, the only brand which was ok to give us money.We hope we could work with KHE for 2013.We thought last year it was time to do a little break, and now we think it’s the right moment.The idea is to come back with a good edition with more time to organize it.We would like to apologize if you book a hotel room or flight ticket.Thank you for your comprehension and hope we will see you in 2013.

2010-12-11T03:20:00.000-08:00

I decided this morning to do it. The decision was hard because I was enough motivate for many reasons.
I am working on my wedding for september 2011 and it takes time and it's difficult to work both.
My job don't let me enough free time also. And last week I learnt I will be fired end of january and I need time to find... a new job.
Many reasons to canceled the Circle Cow.

As you know, it takes time to work on a contest and to find money. At this day I don't have money for the CC12.

But I will work on it because the CC is my "baby" and if YOU, the riders, are motivated to come, I will do my best !!!

Thank you for your support and your comprehension.

The CC is still alive !!!

Be there !!!
