With temperatures forecasted not to exceed 10 degrees Monday and Tuesday, we’ve concluded that Shuffling wouldn’t be much fun. Since FUN is the whole point, we are postponed again, awaiting another opportunity this winter. Keep those joins shuffling…you want to be in peak shuffling shape when Mother Nature smiles upon our high mileage racing kits!
