Congratulations to the 16 people on the Essex team who helped us beat Smoke Rise in tonight’s 4 mile challenge race in Kinnelon. This was our first victory over them in several years. Top finishers for Essex were Mike Skara (2nd), Wayne Carlson (4th) and Fernando Padilla (5th). Many thanks also to George and Christa Studzinski for hosting the post race party at their lovely home in Smoke Rise.
