Riding was fun but navigation was garbage. Lost around 20 minutes
Inadvertently cheated on #1 by crossing a couple trails to get to the flag. Gary M explained that we needed to stay on the trails - so now I knew. That threw the strategy off a bit, but I'm not sure that it would have made much difference.
Couldn't find #2 for the longest time, since I had convinced myself it was on Epping, and in fact it wasn't anywhere near Epping. Finally bailed to the big field and started from there, found it in a few minutes. Pulled the same with #5, sure it was on the wrong trail, so bailed again to the big field and realized it was on the bottom of Juicy Bacon. And sure enough it was.
After #6 I settled down and started getting reasonable leg times. Not sure I really like the MTBO discipline, but on the bright side I didn't have to run anywhere.
