At this Saturday's meet (10/17, starts from 12 noon-2pm) at Powder Mills Park, we will have six courses, as below:

 

Course Color      Distance    Controls    Climb Course nickname

White             1.3km       9           50m   

Yellow            2.6         11          80    "Hey Mom, Another Hill"

Orange            3.3         11          130   "Squishy"

Brown             3.1         11          170   "Do you really want Karl to go up this hill?"

Green             4.6         12          230   "Happy as a J-Bird"

Red               5.9         14          265   "Ziggy Played Guitar"

 

There are lots of hills and swamps on some of the courses.  The swampiness of course will depend on the amount of rainfall we have before the meet (course setter self-preservation note: controls were initially picked well before the recent rains!).  The amount of climb depends a lot on route choices.

 

The course starts at the North lodge, which is off of Woolston Road (driveway up the hill to the south).

NOTES: 

Entrance is FREE to members of the Y (we are using their grounds for some of the courses)

Some courses cross active park roads.  Although the speed limit is low, please take care crossing the roads!

Only cross the main stream at designated crossing points (bridges).

It is a relatively small park - please be aware of the park boundaries.
