Be aware that their is a Westerly High School Cross Country Track meet on 10/24/20 from roughly 10am to 4:30 on XC Up and Down. Go early or go late to get avoid interfering with the racing if you're using the Rt 91 parking area

Why is XC up "Downhill primary" and XC Down "Uphill Primary"? Is that some sort of joke, or what?
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
