I'm looking for ideas to celebrate Etoile's 50th birthday on June 17th. Perhaps the ARK Angels should form a team and race here on her birthday?

Recumbent 'spin' while putting final touches on my crowdsourcing hydrology proposal. Geocaching meets citizen science in the Parry Sound area (if funded). :-)

x league 3 El Niño edition. Great course by Emil! Meghan sure is making our Wednesday night races van-groovy like. sprint maps, nice map layout, waterfront race setting, wet ground, +14C!! another good turn out and a pretty darn good field. Next race in two weeks in Burlington hosted by GHOSlo, Etoile and AG!

beauty day to train indoors! TurboFIT with #turbo

Of the 11 worst teams in the NHL 7 of them are the 7 Canadian teams. if the playoffs started today no Canadian teams would be in.

After a few hours chatting with the Waddtage plumber and carpenter, AG! and I headed out to my research site north of Nobel for a quick snowshoe. It was +3C and the snow was heavy and deep. 100% breaking trail for us. Part way through the snowshoe I pulled out a map of the area that the my GIS technician put together earlier in the week. No magnetic north lines, no contours but detailed veg classification: deciduous, conifers, juniper, open rock, water, and peatland (of course). This was tricky nav training but once we got used to the scale this was a lot of fun. Some places the juniper and conifer were mis-classified but most of the time the juniper was under the deep snow anyways. When the snow melts I think this will make great training for compass work (once I get north lines on the map) and detailed veg map reading. A portion of the map is below. Given that this map is made after 'training' the orthophotos and that we have >100 km^2 of this open rock barren terrain. There is huge training potential here. :-)



Now to challenge our Big Sound Rd. neighbours to a two person relay race on the map! :-) Mike and Emma vs. Katta and Wil.

GNordic with AG! tough slog in warm temps

Much needed stretch and roll.
