This one is different from the conventional 6/12/24h rogaine races... they are usually only on foot. Creating a bike and foot course took a lot of studying the possibilities of how to deal with people doing the 4h bike 4h foot vs the 6h foot race.... phew....
Havin Fun
Spring is here...
Someone tipped off the chipmunk (on top) and it knows all the CP locations now!!
Tamarack Springs Campsite
Anyhow, Yumay and I packed the car Friday night and started nice and early at 5am to get out there and get going.... and the going was tough. Every checkpoint has to be checked, double checked, measured with GPS, and then vetted (by Glen next weekend). So needless to say my plan of getting it all done (30cps) went out the door in a jiffy.... after roughly 10h of riding and running, and lots of breaks readjusting CP locations it was time to go to sleep at the beautiful Tamarack Sprints Campground. Its free camping at a gorgeous campsite, what wonderful place we live in! Saw probably about 30-40 deer and elk while up there too...
Killer Views
The next day we did a combination of ride/run/drive to get more done, and now the course is almost done! Still lots of work to do figuring out CP values and all that fun suff... but that s why I decided to do the race to begin with... lots of learing, lots of fun!
