eather pundits predicted this past weekend would be a washout for the Tennessee Ridge Runners’ first AHRMA Southeast regional cross country and trials event. Thankfully, the rains ended Thursday afternoon and the weekend ended up being glorious. Even the Brood X cicadas were in full flight preparing for their 17-year hiatus. John Strange is the owner of 310 acres of beautiful Smokey Mountain foothills in Bybee, TN. His property has over 100 miles of trails and has been used over the past 30 years for local off-road enthusiasts and as the venue for the Volunteer Hare Scramble, a Southeastern Enduro and Trail Riders Association (SETRA) event. Mark Hawk and his son Clint worked with John to open the property to AHRMA for an inaugural two day Southeast regional cross county and trials event. Bill Funderburke
