This is long overdue, but the 2011 Prouty Ride on July 9th was a great success for the Burris Logistics-Fit Werx Team. Only flat tires (2), full bladders (too many to count), and Calories (about 3000 per rider) stopped our impressive 8-person Navy Blue train (Mike, Claude, Bruce, Shawn, John, Tim, Andrew, and Phil S.)…
