2nd Annual Obstacle Challenge a Success!

WOW! Thanks to the 50+ participants in our obstacle challenge. The weather was perfect and we had a fun-filled long day at Diamond D. The obstacles proved quite challenging for quite a few contestants, but it was a good learning experience and a common comment was "now I know what we need to work on at home!"

The Giant Ant re-appeared from last year, as well as some new obstacles which included a bottomless water hazard and a giant Tweety bird in a red wagon. We are already planning for next year's event. Special thanks to all of our members that helped make the day run smoothly. Our well-oiled machine parked cars, checked Coggin's, registered riders, served food, timed obstacles and cleaned up the picnic grounds. I think we will have several new members after last weekend... since some new folks got to participate in our club fun! Here's a link to the photos that Lisa took- PHOTOS
