Next time I think we should keep the controls in a relatively compact area to avoid an overly difficult control pickup. I was good with the course but having to pick up the controls over that area was perhaps too much exercise in one morning. Alternatively we could get someone to run the course with a backpack and just pick up the controls as they go. This obviously is a sacrifice but it would save a lot of work.

Thanks also to the Teutsch's for hanging the controls, that was great.

Wow, solid work out in the Gatineau Hills with Robbie and Jeff. Not sure if I have my bike properly adjusted yet but it was a fun ride.

Setting out Controls for MacCarthy Night-O

Fun mass start with Robbie and Jeff. Then took turns leading the group. Found some questionable areas on the west side of the map. Jeff beat Robbie and I to the finish after the two of us rocketed over a trail we were supposed to catch.

Cycling 1:30:00 [2] 36.0 km (2:30 / km)
shoes: Clips

I was biking home when I heard this rumbling behind me. To my suprise a roller skater had caught up to me! I immediately picked up the pace but the guy stayed right on my back! Finally I surrendered and we had a quick chat. Then I turned on the jets again but he still seemed to have no trouble keeping up. I didn't think roller blades could be so fast. Here I was druelling down my face and this guy wasn't even out of breath!

Amazing...

In the end I turned off the bike path to the residential streets and the guy went off shouting "Good Work!".
