Emma McCrary, my sister-in-law, will be managing her Swanton NATRC ride this 
year...the 35th.  She has poured her heart and soul into these rides since 
she first started the Swanton NATRC.  She would like everyone to know this 
will be her last, and best.  It will include a 2-day, 50 mile event.  The 
dates are July 14-15.  Please contact her at 831-423-4365 for further 
details.
