Thanks to Super Dave Jessen for putting this all together. It is a lot of work to organize a bus trip, and he doesn't make a dime at it. He just loves running with his friends.QCRunner is on an ultra, trail running quest this season, so I missed the spring bus trip. Looking forward to doing something in spring of 2012 group travel related. Maybe I can get the Muscatine and QC groups together...
Best to you Dave!

Hi Guys,
Report on the Saturday Morning Happy Joe's running group trip to Cleveland Marathon weekend-
Rain, Wind and cold greeted us race morning. 31 Happy Joe's runners travel to Cleveland running the Marathon, Half and 10K. 2 rookie marathoners Lisa Wells and Brad Saunders. 3 rookie Half Marathoners Paul & Michele Reginello and Jim Bernas. All first timers finished what they came to do. Weather was a factor in racing performance but not a factor in fun. Left Saturday morning May 14th, rain and fog the whole way. Traveled directly to Race Expo held in abandoned Walmart 10min from downtown because last years Expo venue being rebuilt. Nice Expo with plenty to see, do and buy! Race morning, cold windy and rainy. Didn't dampen spirits though because... hey! who said marathons were easy? After everyone was done and cleaned up we had our bus driver "Smitty" take us to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Good time there and afterwards rode to the "warehouse district" for food, brew, fun and reflection.
Other item of note besides the first timers were Kay Ralston took 3rd place in her age group and Chet Doyle was 4th place in his.
