NO RACE THIS YEAR--2016!!!! (July10, 2016)

NO RACE THIS YEAR--2016!!!! It is with a heavy heart I must conclude that the Louis Reed Race IS NOT--(as once thought)--"THE RACE FOR EVERYONE." Lase year, 2015--NOBODY CAME TO RACE and I circled the course myself! I got the blue ribbon. Maybe individual road racing will come back and then our race will resume. But I cannot see a prospect of any racers interested in riding this year? It has been a long run. And my "volunteers" who have cheerfully been on our five corners have come each year without hesitation. It is hard to believe the LOUIS REED RACE ran for twenty-five years. But then bicycle people are individualists and such a race has had a select following from the beginning. Our concept is well stated on this BLOGSPOT, but in short it is for those not active in regular competition, but who might look forward and train for a once a year event. We have had no preregistration nor charged any money. But then we have not had the promotion which regular "charity" collection events garner. So------for now-----we shall call this----going into hiatus.
