UPDATED: Ronde Recap!! (with new pictures)

A crowd of men gathered in Plum Alley as spring slipped away and the temperature dropped below 45 again. Jessica arrived and mixed things up a bit. A rolling start to begin, then they were off. Gary won! And the rest is history. Halfway through the course, Gary was out in front by at least five minutes and took a total win time of six minutes over second place. Pictures and results below!
