Craftsbury SuperTour in Photos
Jake just posted a great blog wrapping up the SuperTour and thanking all the Center staff, volunteers, and coaches for all their hard work the past two weeks in pulling off the big races here in Craftsbury. He pretty much hit the nail on the head, so no need to expand more on that. Instead of words, I’ll just leave everyone with a story in photos from the two weekends. Thanks to photographer John Lazenby for coming to Craftsbury and graciously providing us with high quality images from the races!
