The course started at Manual High School ' s parking lot, ran down Raymond St., and ended up back at Garfield Park. Special Pride Ride T-shirts were awarded to Redskins who finished the race first. Michelle Amick, Darla Ander- son, Tim Connor, Bobby Davidson, Mary Gidcumb, and Mike Strahl all won the shirts.
