JACK RABBITS TRAIL-BIKE RUN (Results will appear in Cycle tbe trail bike course. I turned around to ask tbe guy at the check whicb way to go. and too k off again. I guess tbe Morgan brothers. who were running about 10 feet apart (how's that for togetherness?) got off on the wrong trail too. because abou t 2 miles later-up they came to pass me again.
