Ciao, September!
What a beautiful fall weekend! Many thanks to those who joined us in Englewood! If you weren’t in at the farm with us, we hope you were doing something awesome outside and enjoying these final fleeting weeks of September.
Speaking of which, the month is coming to a close and our season is done in less than one month! Time flies when you’re having fun. Thanks for reading this week’s update and for all of your help, cheering, volunteering, snack-bringing, and coaching this weekend! It was an absolute blast, and we loved how many first-time riders were out there! (Last I checked…we had 64 total Driftless riders registered…I don’t have a final count for the weekend but having over 60 riders jump in between the tape is AWESOME!)
