Reported results for Thursday 9/7/23
We started with three mixed groups due to the low turnout that was driven by the light rain that persisted most of the day.
Groups headed out into a shower and returned to a dry parking lot. Most importantly, all returned safe.
There are no reported speeds as I played SAG driver to get a rider who had a flat that could not be repaired.
