We had a very fun event at a brand new venue — White Pines Nature Preserve. To keep things interesting, I offered three different loop courses, and people could choose how many loops they wanted to do. Most did one loop; some did two, and a few brave folks did all three. After finishing, we […]

On Sunday, we had our first official event at lovely Cliffs of the Neuse State Park. This beautiful park is about half way between the Triangle and the coast, and made a convenient stop for those coming back from the Saturday event at Shackleford. Carl Briscoe set a great yellow course and a challenging 90-minute […]
