A brief word about our final BPRC/Subaru Trail Series for 2009: We are still scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 25. Due to the devastating flooding from our recent heavy rains, we may have to change the venue. At present, our plan is to run at Sweetwater Creek State Park. We are sending a BPRC scout to do a safety inspection within the next few days. If conditions are not favorable, we will come up with a great plan B. We’ll keep you posted.
