Storms wreak havoc on preparations for the B24.  Tents were flying 30 feet through the air, slammed into cars and reduced to broken twigs of twisted metal.  Fun times!  The good news, weather looks more promising for Saturday and Sunday and the Ergon tent was not damaged in the storm!  You’re welcome E.O.

Do it in the dark!
