    Note to self: Do not volunteer to be Ride Captain for a mission in Austin when UT is at home, there is a foot race downtown and F1 is here! Otherwise, 9 flags in flagline at church, 6 bikes from church to cemetery with one bike at cemetery. Not a bad turnout. Thanks to all who showed up and a special thanks to Don for flag wrangling.
