Pac Striders July 27, 8:45am - Skyline Gate (& Skyline 50K help)

Mike and Jessica are entertaining the relatives this weekend, so I'll be going solo as weekend run host this Sunday. I'll be hanging out at Skyline Gate, probably to do a jaunt to Sequoia Bayview (but I can be persuaded elsewhere)

Speaking of Skyline, Mike Palmer is co-race director of the Skyline 50K on August 3. The race needs volunteers to do course markings and help sweep, among other things. Free t-shirts for those who help out! Contact Mike at mikepalmer@berkeley.edu for more info.
