ahr:125 max:152 spiked:7/10c shoes: Inov8 ORoc280-B 2013-10
Because we were in EMPO-land we decided to attend the event at Pleasant Valley Farms set by Phil H-T on his own map of several adjacent properties with various levels of active farming (mostly none, but one field had alfalfa, and another had a number of honeybee hives).
Green course, SL 4.9 km. Third of four on the course, but I won one of the legs where I cut through a field (downhill). :-)
I counted 170m of climb on my route vs the 200+ AP calculated; it certainly seemed like I was climbing a lot. The leg combo of 3-4-5-6 was almost 2km with more than half the climb. Saw some neat features (there's a variety of limestone outcroppings that were put to use as control points, including a small cave, big enough for a small child but not an adult) and views of the hilly scenery near Berne.
Mistakes on 3 and 4, where I was trusting the vegetation mapping more than I should have, and to 8 where I stopped short and backtracked a bit to be sure of where I was before continuing.
Fun to catch up with EMPO folks, and the turnout was pretty typical for an EMPO meet.
