Five successfully complete the 11th Redbud!

Tuesday Hikers,

 

12 showed up for a very hot (for April 9 and recent Tuesdays) hiking day on Tuesday for the 11th Annual Redbud Half-Hundred Challenge and 6 managed to do more than 19 miles.  This is the 6th year for this especially difficult course (which we now believe is actually 33 miles), and the heat slowed us down or cut our distances short.  Nevertheless, I managed 28.5 miles in 10:25, and five others completed all 33 miles:  Mike Christiani and Dave Green in 11:23, Tom Kloster and his daughter Laurie in 11:55 and Gene Whitaker in 12:25.  I'll be in touch soon with the finishers to make arrangements for them to collect their prizes.  Congratulations and thanks to everyone for keeping this tradition alive.

Congratulations to all 6 of you!  

It gives me sore feet just to think it.

John
