EVENT: "Topless Tour" RIDE

Our 8th Annual Topless Tour was June 7th, 2009
We had a great ride, in spite of the threatening weather at the start. It cleared up for the rest of the ride. Thanks to everyone that helped out, and everyone that made the run! If you didn't come out, you can still show your support by buying a run T-shirt at the next meeting or purchase online - they're "Classic Black" with Silver metallic print.
