Old News
Our pre-ride course scouts (thanks, Grandma and Grandpa Bates) report back that Cottonwood Pass for this Friday's Ride is still a mess, take a look at these photos shot 6/17.
We are almost all packed and just waiting for Claire to get off of work. We will then head to the Great Sand Dunes for the night.
