November 5, 2022,The Bovine Classic - Happy Bovine

The inaugural Bovine Classic "Happy Bovine" medium-length route. Equal parts rewarding and challenging.
I was in the middle of a cold and thus not in good form, but I completed the event regardless and am looking forward to next year when I can socialize and enjoy the festivities before/after.
