After months of speculation and day of rumors and 10s of minutes of planning, the 1st annual Mason Dixon Convergence between Southwake, CarPex, NE Wake, Knightdate and Wake Forest finally put shovels in the ground at the AO of Pullen Park.  It was a beautiful, crisp morning in Raleigh as a large PAX had gathered early for a 6 mile pre run through downtown Raleigh.  YHC arrived a little early to do a little setup.  Clown cars were in great number as the PAX was probably trying to reduce our Carbon Footprint not that the US has pulled out of the Paris Climate deal.  No FNGs, but a quick disclaimer was given by Floppy and we circled up.
