Tick tock! Can you hear me now?
Thumping the clocks
This is a new strain from John James. Looks like a case of poison ivy.
Due to the inclement weather and lack of good training days, the club has decided to skip the first race on April 18 (Onieda, 100 miles).
At the next meeting, the club will decide wether or not to reschedule the race or just skip it altogether.
See you on April 24!
