Hi Parents,
Thanks to the Lunquists (Mischa, Nettie, Coach Evrett, Ruth and Smalls) for hosting the family ride and potluck last weekend! Thanks to all who made it out and to those who brought wonderful things to share.
There have been requests for the cornbread recipe so if you brought it, please would you share your recipe.

The weather will be cooler so kids won’t need to carry as much water but they will still need to stay hydrated. Dressing in layers is recommended as well as full fingered gloves for the middle school boys’ race. Spectating can get cold so dress warmly.
