• Hello CRW Board             

  The Cranberry Ride was a success.

We had 369 Registrations with 270 riders who checked in.

• • We generated $11,245 in fee revenue.

  Our expenses are still be submitted but I expect to be over budget as we had additional permit, DCR and medal expenses for the year.

  The Water stops all went great without issue. Our sponsored stops at Mattapoisett and Tamarack did great! All of our volunteers were Awesome!

   

  

  • John O’Dowd – Ride leader management, parking coordination and Distribution and so much more ! You rock Buddy!
  • Everett Briggs – Sat Distribution, East Over Water Stop Stud and Post Distribution, I could NOT have done Sat/Sun without you! You Rock the Fro Man!
