Glover Day 2014

Another beautiful Glover Day. Unlike some years, not so steamy and humid, but sunny and comfortable. 

The Univega has seen better days, but Julie made a last minute decision the ride the bike race once again.

Peter and the small crowd of mountain bike racers line up for the start.

Wayne steams down the home stretch, 2nd place overall in the 5k.


Cole, first year running the 5k, 6th place overall.

Edwin is not doing ballet in the middle of the road. He's directing traffic around the end of the race.

Sandy, representing the Outlaws for Glover Day, finishes strong in the 5.5 mile run.

Go Lizzy! Also a 5 miler.

Martha is looking in great shape. 


Lining up for the kids race - Heather, Anya, and Estelle.





This girl was built to run.

Yay Heather!

Awesome job, Lena and Thomas!

It was a pleasant surprise to find some Switchel waiting at the finish line to slake their thirst.

The puppet show re-enactment of Runaway Pond.

After the festivities on the green, back at Shadow for burgers and dogs and lots of salads.



And swimming, of course.





 Calvin and Brittany arrived in kayaks. Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of them, but Thomas and Lena and New Paul borrowed the kayaks for a little spin.


Another day full of great memories.

    1. Lisa, thanks for giving me so much credit, but I'm not a member of GREC anymore, so all I have to do is go and enjoy watching everyone in the races! It's great.

    2. I hadn't realized that. I thought the reason Ed and Wes were helping out directing traffic is because you "volunteered" them.
