Night Riding at Harbison

If you have not heard, they are trying to open Harbison up to night riding.

Even if you can not make the ride tomorrow, please email Friends of the Forest and let them know you are interested in riding out there.
friendsofhsf@friends ofhsf.org
It has been a long time since we have done any riding out there....Legally. It sure would be nice to have it as an option before the time changes.
Thanks,

Out numbered, but managed to out wit and overpower most of there team. Jamie pulled out two bronze finishes for the weekend. This puts him well in the hunt for the overall mens expert series.

Damon and Toby P also made a showing in the singlespeed class. Toby pulled out a bronze and gold for this weekends races. Saturday's race had Toby off the front for the first half and slowly fading back into a battle for third place w/ a Kenda rider.
