Wow. The best, I tell ya.

Web guy, still in camper. Great, great weekend. So very cool to make so many friends and see so many similarly passionate people. (about trials, of course!). And another thing, all the checkers ROCKED the National. Without your commitment, we couldn't have pulled off such a stellar event. Anyhow, more pics soon, when I get to a real computer. But hey, iPhone web updates from the camper; geeky cool.

Section twelve is closed, and I am checking out!

DRINK DRINK DRINK!

Weather at the National: HOT. SO, we cannot emphasize enough that all our crew(s) remind the guests, and each other, to drink plenty of fluids (waters and electrolyte replacements - NOT Red Bulls or the like) even though they don't feel thirsty; strenuous activity or not, that Anza heat will bring even the fittest person to their knees in dehydration.

Additionally, any attempt to shade one's body from direct sunlight will prove fruitful in such intense heat. i.e. long sleeve shirts, wide brimmed hats, eye protection, sun BLOCK, umbrellas etc. All attempts to educate will help minimize accidents. You'd be surprised how people will ignore something as simple as hydration.

So drink up!

The Map of the National

The SCTA web guy really really likes maps, and likes making maps even more. After at least 3 site recon rides, several markup sessions with master section builders Marcus Miller and Chris Cullins, we offer up,...

Big shout outs to Don for the base file, and to Gary for offering up a place for trials. I'll see YOU at camp bardahut. Come on by for a color map!
