DVE Day1

Started out the day with a visit to a rock monument to celebrate the life of Tom Gossert, who according to the book topped over 400 mountains mountains in his lifetime, pretty cool way to honor a family member, friend and fellow adventurer.
64 riders took the trail this morning under clear blue skys. I was a fair distance into the ride as the LD riders started at 9:00 after a trailer ride to Ballarat. Everyone was all smiles too......
