Carl Andersen Memorial 2005 Report

On Sunday, October 9, 2005, the Gaston County Cyclists sponsored this annual metric century, which started at Crowders Mountain State Park.  This was the fourth year we have ridden in memory of Carl Andersen, a club cyclist that died tragically as a result of a sudden storm in July of 2002.

The ride began at 10:00 a.m., & routes were marked at 62, 40, & 25 miles.

Thanks go to Melissa Magee for organizing this year's event.  The 64 riders registered for the ride were treated to perfect fall weather, a well-marked course, & good support.  Here are some details:

Margot Rott - Registration
Steve Dow - Sag and course marking
Paula Weant, Charlene Angel and Kim Andersen - Water stops
Jim Weant - Course Marking

A donation was made in Carl Andersen's name for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Number riders: 64
