Greylock Road Race – 2nd Series, Race #2

Monday, September 1, 2014 turned out to be a pretty decent day for the race. It was about 70 degrees when we arrived a little after 8. This picture taken at the summit about noon and just under 70 degrees. Quite beautiful J

As Dawn Roberts was picking up her race number from the registration table, Dick Hoch got off to an early start.
