January 2026 31 Robert Willford got things dialed on his Kawasaki, winning second overall and the Vintage 50+ Intermediate class. Winning third overall was James Smith aboard his nice Can Am. Shawn Mayo, aboard his Penton, had a great ride, winning the Vintage 60+ Intermediate class. And as always, it was great to see female riders aboard vintage bikes with Shelia Monk winning the Vintage Women's Expert class, Stephanie Daniels on a BSA taking the Vintage Women's Intermediate class, and Linda Dowell on her Hodaka securing second place. The 2025 Cross Country season concluded success- fully with a strong turnout and fantas c course. The End-of-Year banquet was well-organized, featuring a yummy BBQ buffet and super-efficient award presenta ons. Special thanks to Bobby Hedge, who announced races all weekend, then turned around and handled MC du es at the award ceremonies. Bobby invests me and effort in ge ng to know the riders and crew, enrich- ing his commentary with insigh ul details that significantly enhance the quality of our event experience. Thanks to Becky Hayes for her ex- pert management of cross-country sign-up and scoring. I also want to recognize Albert Newman, who stepped up to be our Off-Road Director. We AHRMA members are lucky to have the dedicat- ed individuals who make each and every event happen. There is a lot that goes on before, during, and a er each event that makes our experience enjoyable and even possible. My hats off to all our promoters and crew who made this year's cross-country events so much fun. I look forward to 2026!! -Suzy
