Note
Was over at Quabbin this morning. With the exception of one O' event in the SE corner several years ago, haven't done any orienteering there for a long time. In places the vegetation sure has changed -- red pine plantations dying out, some cutting and regrowth, fewer deer eating the underbrush -- all combining to make the place look a lot less like the wide open place it was. Good forest management, I suppose, but I miss the way it was.
2 PM
biking - red bike 56:06 15.28 mi (3:40 / mi) +604ft 3:32 / mi
ahr:138 max:157
Leverett loop clockwise. Took it easy up the first few hills and then worked a little harder the rest of the way.

River Road - Deerfield. Seemed like the (gentle) wind was always in my face, though maybe that was all in my mind. In any case, just a modest effort, especially going up the hills. More fun that way.

biking - red bike 31:36 6.02 mi (5:15 / mi) +663ft 4:45 / mi
ahr:122 max:159 weight:141lbs
Decided to see if I could make it up South Sugarloaf in the new bike (with a double ring in front instead of a triple, but more gears in the back). Seemed about the same, next-to-lowest gear for the first part, then lowest gear for the rest, not dying but not much in reserve either. 10:23 up.
Otherwise, short and mellow ride.
Earlier, got to watch a few of our feathered friends up real close --

Down to the Coolidge Bridge on the east side of the river, back on the west side. The only problem with the route is that a little bit of it is in Northampton, which lived up to its reputation -- bad pavement, and I got yelled at by the usual yahoos that seem to hang out only in Northampton around here.
Westerly breeze, so a crosswind most of the time. Good steady pace, not hard. New bike is nice, soaks up the bumps better, and the 28mm tires are nice, certainly helped when I spent much of Damon Road riding on the dirt shoulder (traffic was mostly standing still). Ah, Northampton, nice town but not for biking.

orienteering 2:18:30 3.73 mi (37:08 / mi) +669ft 31:44 / mi
ahr:94 max:124
Back to Pond Mountain to finish up (maybe?) vetting the points for the Long and Middle at the Team Trials. Takes a while, as it always does, including a few minutes doing some map corrections with a Sharpie, because that was all I had... :-)
1 PM
orienteering 41:59 1.39 mi (30:06 / mi) +435ft 23:14 / mi
ahr:106 max:126
And a couple more points easier reached from a different parking place.

ahr:108 max:129
And still a couple more points easier reached from a different parking place.
