Great job everyone and thanks for representing.

Saturday was so nice I was trying to come up with a good Sunday ride for Billy and I. Some friends were going to race at the Fort so with the warm sunny temps it was a pretty attractive option. Plus Billy races for $10 and I follow him so it's cheap too. So I surprise him Saturday night with the invite to race Sunday. He was game as usual.

After being parked in total organization by the Michigan National Guard, we registered. At that time the 10 slots in his all children under 10 age group had been filled. So he was the 11th to register with nearly 2 hours to race time. The class ended up having close to 15 give or take and it was a healthy looking group with some real tall 10 year old girls which made the boys look pretty weak by comparison.
