The Josh Race

the motto of this race is….to finish is to win.

it is the 2nd oldest race of this kind.

the day starts out with us cheering on the bikers!!

after she crossed the finish line she was not only winded but apparently she fell on the course….and banged up both her knees.

not a good thing when auditions for the Nutcracker were in one hour!!
