Event: NEOC: Baldwin Hill
 

Baldwin Hill Green. Couple of losses of contact, but generally OK.

Surprised to see Red times/km markedly faster than Green times/km.

Green - Splits

Event: NEOC: Pine Bluffs Night-O
 

Night-O at Pine Bluffs (Aims's house and environs). I did not find #14, having used 2 different attack points. One, not exactly sure where I was, hoping I was at a bend in a little trail (very hard for me to see in the dark); the other, from a very distinct nearby pit that I'd punched on the 1st map. Neither attack point was more than about 30m away from the control. From the pit, I twice found an open forest area inside the denser green forest, but no control. From the bend, I never really found open forest. Grr.

Upon comparing map 2's frustrating attempts to find #14 with map 1's placement of control 3 (depression), from which I attacked, I realized that I made a parallel error. I thought the flagged pit was the one between the wider trail's forked end. Instead, it was a similar pit to the east. Both pits were roughly SW of open forest areas within medium green. So I was flailing around inside the wrong open area. Doh.

Reservoir loop. Found the culvert repair complete (hooray), but there was new construction a couple of blocks from home forcing an unplanned detour.

Birdsong Trail to the banks of the Mighty Assabet and back.

To the UPS store by MTB on paved but hilly roads.

Bank run with some fartlek bits on the flat part of the return. T-shirt and shorts weather, yippee!
