Single Track Escape 2011

 It's taken too long for me to get these photos up of this years race.  Thanks to all of you who came out to help set up, organize and volunteer day of the event.  I made the trophys again this year a big Thanks to Sunburst Granites of St. Cloud who continue to wonder what I am doing with chunks of granite for awards at a bike race!?...Dave is a good guy and is willing to support our granite needs.

 Gianna was a big help as well as her dad!  Thanks!!

 Set up went super fast this year.  We had a lot to do since the large mower broke down and we had to haul all of the smaller mowers out to groom the big field for the race start but everyone stepped up and helped out.  Having so many volunteers really made it a breeze compared to the first few years a few were out in the rain and bad conditions until the sun went down.

 Pat helped with the safety cones as well as mowing the tall grass.  Thanks Pat!!

 Raking and mowing the starting chute.

 The lap area all set up.  Joe and his son inspecting.
