We pack up and head to TBarS on October 3rd!! This is one of our favorite places to camp! If you haven’t made it a point to go, you really should. We normally have so many going that we reserve the entire campsite. However, this year there were only 10 spots available out of the 16 and I believe we have filled those already. So, if you want to join us let us know and we can see if we can add you to our campsite or see if they had someone back out on their reservations.
We usually try to caravan so we will make plans for that the closer we get.

Alisia Waxman will lead the ride. Cost is $25 for non GAHA members and $20 for GAHA members with lunch provided. There will be an endurance clinic beginning at 1:00 as well. Should be a FUN, FUN day!
