FLCC> ESSG volunteer thanks

[Sara Barker]

BIG thanks needs to go to Marcia who was once again a wiz at all parts of 
race organization in Mark's absence. Nice work Marcia!

I have to admit that it was pretty great being thanked for your volunteer 
service from riders in the middle of their TTs as they passed you or as 
they crossed the finish line. What a great group of riders!

Cheers,
Sara
