Hi everyone. Hope you’ve had a good week. I’m leaving early Friday morning for a few days to celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary (I know, right?!!!), so I’ll be away from my desk and won’t be working as usual until Thursday morning.
Here are my picks for the weekend.
Saturday, July 26th

It’s time for the 41st annual running of the RACC, a bucket-list ride if there ever was one. There are four routes from 18 to 100+ miles. More info here.
