CSU Juniors hiking up Kearsarge after the race.  Also with the group Max from SMS and Adam from Ford-Sayre.  Everyone is welcome!


Why race up a mountain?  Lydia shows us: to win a pie!

Many thanks to John LaChance (on the right) who hiked up and down the 6K road with a 24 lb leaf blower on his back to "groom" the course.  And organized the whole event.
Thank you to Doro Kern for all the great photos.
