Hi Everyone,

It looks as though we need to change the route for this weekend's SLR b/c our scheduled route is likely to interfere with/be hindered by the Nation's Triathlon.

So, we have a new route :) A modified, longer version on the Glover Archbold-Capitol Crescent trail route. Many thanks to Brian Danza for mapping out the route. It is still 16 miles. I've pasted in the cue sheet below, please let me know if you have any questions!
