Tamarancho 1000 A Huge Success

Super Heroes

Super Heroes!

Super Heroes abound at the 3rd Annual Tamarancho 1000, held on Halloween.

Not only were there riders who were super heroes but an incredible effort by Tony Ruggiero and the Parent Committee made this event a huge success!

Thank you all so very much for putting together an organized, delicious and well staffed event. From the breakfast burritos to the burgers to the lap counters and course marshals, it was, like the awesome Drake MTB Team itself, a well oiled machine.

Many thanks go out to Julia Voilich and the Redwood gang as well for their part in making this a great success. Drake riders rode 114 laps and Redwood added another 51 for a total of 990 miles! Add Coaches laps and we were able to hit the official 1000 mark to make this a true Tamarancho 1000.

Again, thank you all for participating. This is a great start to what I am sure will be an incredible season for Drake MTB.
