We only know that his name is Ron and that he is the D&D chapter president in Richmond, Va. With Curtis hanging out of the Missing Saddle team car, we gave Ron a bit of a scare as he was setting off to the summit of Brass Town Bald in the rain. We took the [...]

As you know by now, J-Mac’s break didn’t make it to the end. He does get burley points for attacking again 5k from the finish though.
