It was a thrill so see the Animas Ospreys flock to race #1. Thanks to Chad for rolling out the Varsity start with Dave Wiens. Big things come from small communities.
Thanks Kate. We had sooo much fun together as a team checking into the new Colorado league. Thanks for making such a sweet experience. See you soon!
We were glad to be a part of the first year for sure. And it was a pleasure riding along side one of my idols from my junior years. Cool stuff for sure! Thanks Kate.
