7 Cyclomanics took to Holly Springs to rough the weather and get in some wheelie miles

Double D, Kubota, Gump, Rams, Woody, Swift and Breach on the Q

The Workout: Started at Womble park and hit the streets, we mastered the greenway around to heartbreak hill back up into Sugg for some more off-road action, took the scenic route back across the neighborhoods and flew by Tapline to check out the situation, back through the greenway to womble and then across Stinson, down Bass Lake rd and into Sunset Ridge. There was a John Deere sighting as we pushed out to Holly springs road as the rain started to catch us. The heavy stuff fell as we rounded the corner on Bass lake and headed back toward Womble.

Announcements: There are some upcoming Travis Manion Foundation opportunities, will post on Slack, Kubota is raising money for a charity, details to follow on Slack
