Report

Low-Key is back!

Despite a bit of misty rain as riders approached the finish line, this week's climb in Henry Coe State Park was a spectacular success! Sure, it was a bit wet riding to the start line, but as start-line coordinator Barry Burr organized the troops, the clouds scattered, and shadows were even spotted as the first group moved into the first switchback.

Coordinator Gary Griffin led an experienced volunteer crew this week like a well-oiled machine. Despite the damp conditions at the finish, the finish line crew got everyone's number. And riders got to enjoy the wonderful views from the park.

Thanks to all who braved the start line drizzle, riders and volunteers alike, and came to this week's climb!
