Cheering stations
(Preview)
Hey everyone - some friends and family have asked whether the cheering stations are also checkpoints to stop at or whether we just ride by them and see people in passing (I assume some stop regardless). Anyone care to comment how the stations were incorporated into last year's ride. Thanks! Kevin
