[Martyn Wright]

Riders,

 

We have some exciting things coming for the CRC as we start with some faces on the club board.  More to come!

 

Reminder: Las Vegas Grand Fondo September 22.  Don Leyn is taking a break from arranging daffodil  bouquets and shopping for unicorns bed spreads (you started it dude) to go to Vegas with me.  Anyone who is interested in going with us please send me an email at martyn...@comcast.net.  This ride is a blast and is the day after the inter-bike conference.  Ride begins straight down the strip through Red Rocks park and Hoover Dam.
