Ron and Dorothy Strasser
Mike/All,
A well organized event with great support (although a tow rope up some of
the slimed upslopes would have been great on the 2nd lap). It was tough for
this old coot, but I had some fun!!! That Burrito was VERY TASTY. Way to
go all and WAY TO GO DARYL, most folks your age were sitting at hope
drinking beer on the sofa. Thanks team S&M for your personalized support!
For those of you that have not done this... I say give it a try next year.
