2023 #TridgeToBridge240 – The Lighthouse Restaurant
It’s been an absolutely beautiful day on the #TridgeToBridge240 course. The weatherman had been predicting spotty thunderstorms for the afternoon, and while the sky turned overcast for a bit, a light sprinkle was all that materialized. Eventually the clouds broke again, although the break from the hot July sun had been nice. I’m now in […]
