Attention DC riders: As of today we have 4 riders signed up for Tour of Two Forests (June 8th). If you're planning to ride, but haven't yet signed up, please do so before the end of this month. If we don't have at least 25 on the roster by May 1st, we have no choice but to pull the plug. It hurts to say this, but participation in DCs is in a downward spiral; and they are no longer viable. So sign up today. This will be the final effort to keep ToTF alive.
