I'm in ECTRA, and compete in the New England area. I will be attending a
15-mile clinic on April 13, similar to the above. This will be my second
competitive ride (although we attended other organized trail rides and one
competitive ride last year), and my first ride of 96. I'm looking forward
to this immensely!
