Glover Day 2016

Welcome to Glover Day 2016! Warm and sunny, but not as humid as we've all known Glover Day to be in the past.

Peter and Thomas rode in the bike race. While not as romantic as the couple on the left, they shared one last cheerful moment before the grueling race began. Afterwards, Thomas said, "I thought it would be easier than running, but I didn't know how hard it would be." (I myself did the bike race 15 years ago when I was in the best shape of my life, and I remember hating every minute of it and vowing never to do it again.) It was a small group of 10 mountain bikers this year.

Wayne and Cole finish the 5k together.  Cole has been running a lot lately, but Wayne is still a little older and his legs a little longer so he managed to keep in front.

Heather and Estelle have graduated from the kids 2k to the  more challenging 5k!
