Open 15.5 and Potluck with Redline Gear

3 of the 5 weeks of the Open are already out of the way, things are closing in quick. We want to end things with a bang so 15.5 is going to be big. Redline will be up with tons of gear and helping provide some food and beer for afterwards. In addition to our all-start athletes, there are rumors of the likes of Lauren Brooks, Cole Sager, Brook Ence, and maybe a few others flying in for the weekend to train and hang out. We hope as many of you as possible come in to hangout Friday night the 27th. Bring in a dish to help contribute to the pot. See you then!
