 I would like to make a special mention of our Junior riders, all of who have made us so proud during the 2008 season. Their are too many to name them all and remember their accomplishments, recently though,  Milly Mackay won yet another Best conditioned award at the Cordillera Trail and Renae Chapman won her first Best Conditioned award at the Brooklyn ride.  Congratulations Girls!!
