Robe Race 2012

The Gnomes are very kind to us this year and have blessed us in more ways than one.  An amazing crew of friends, with blue sky and perfect flows, today Robe was a slice of heaven on earth.  Nine teams, two Robes, and one garden gnome, church is in session!   Not a shortage of competition this year including Fred Norquist, Darren Albright, Lane Jacobs, Isaac Levinson, and many more.  Also some hometown favorites that devote themselves to spend more time in this spectacular canyon than in the "real world".  Big thanks to Todd Gillman for being such a rad dude.
