Hi Everybody
Hope you are all set for Sunday
Make sure your bike is in good working order and dress appropriately for the day on Sunday currently looking cloudy but dry.

If there is still a spot left I would love to do this course. I got some but not all of it last year and it would be great to refresh my skills
