Red Jacket - BlueSky Health Racers Participate in Copper Harbor Trails Fundraiser
John Gershenson, May 17, 2008
Six team members headed up north to Copper Harbor for the Tour da Keweenaw, despite a weather forecast of cold, wind, and rain. The cold and rain of the early morning in Houghton gave way to blue skies in the Harbor as Carp, John, Mark, Bruce, Schmidty, and Steve tackled the 82 mile loop of the northern Keweenaw. Several team members anchored the lead pack that worked together in the 22 mph swirling headwinds and arrived first at the all important lunch stop at Fitzgeralds. John outfoxed the peloton for the prestigous Gay town limits sign.Chris, however, won the al- important Cat Bay sprint, his first ever win at this town line. Sam Raymond said that the funds raised will go to support housing for the 8-10 Americorps volunteers coming up to do six weeks of trailwork in the Harbor.
