Join me in welcoming two new course setters for the Chattahoochee Bend meet on April 2nd. Anne Ledbetter has designed the White, Yellow and Orange, and John Chambers has designed the Brown, Green and Red. Its a big deal to go from running courses to doing all the work to be a course setter - I'm sure they will love to hear your opinions of their courses!
We will be at the boat ramp in one of the picnic shelters, and courses will run up and down the river. No climb to speak of. Beavers have been busy - marshes are full of water.
In other news the logging is done, so once the map is updated, we can move to a different area for the next meet.
