Did you hear about the Glenn Hartrick 2N’s Anything is Possible 5K??? We can use both volunteers and participants. It’s being held on Sunday August 31st (Glenn’s birthday) at Noon. Not gonna be in the area that weekend???? Here’s the cool thing – you can run it virtually (you will get a race bib and then send your results in via email – no fibbing!). I will be running in Amsterdam; can’t wait to support our friend Glenn. For more information visit – https://runsignup.com/Race/NJ/Millburn/GlennHartrick5K

Many of our ride leaders are participating in either the R2C relay Saturday or the NYC Tri Sunday so we don’t have any group rides posted for the weekend. Seems like Sean Cercone in interested in a ride to Toga on Sunday. Please use the FB group to organize. Happy Training.
