The year in GGR has really been a spectacular one! Lots of new women riding, improving, trying their hand at racing and the biggest Rocktober showing yet of both participants and exhibitors!
We closed the year out with our annual CO-ED Holiday Ride & Luncheon. 40 Riders showed up to enjoy 3 levels of guided rides in the Santa Monica Mountains and have fun at our lunch buffet & gift exchange. This year Susan Hall won the Most Improved Rider for 2015 and was presented with a large purple plaque!
