I was tying up flagging tape for the checkpoints! The STi was firmly planted on the road.
Thanks, I was just trying to get an impression of how bad those icy spots were.

yep.
As you know, it's a rather historic corner, the scene of lots of action in years gone by.

Just a quick question (I hope), are there any differences in instructions between classes?
We're thinking of going up one class to join Fred and Frank.

Jake, intermediate and expert are slightly more challenging than novice, but way easier than a typical ORRC. No difference between intermediate and expert.

Thanks Ryan,
We might consider changing to expert once we get to Bancroft. I hope it will be okay with the organizers.
Still waiting for the snowstorm.

Ben - I usually alternate years - competing one year and working a checkpoint the next. Working checkpoints can be almost as much fun as competing (having a ham radio helps keep you entertained and informed).

We just had a mini snowstorm here - everything is white again. Maybe the same in Bancroft?

I, personally, would like to thank the Sweep team for coming out last night.

I, personally, would like to congratulate Norm for being the only competitor to require the services of our sweep team

Eels Lake Road? The handling after that uphill left hander was just silly. There were marks in the small banks from at least four vehicles by the time that we passed. I was hand over hand to counter the oversteer; in a car that usually can't produce oversteer. Heck, even the start of snow covered Eels Lake was a late morning wakeup call for us spoiled gravel drivers last night. Good thing that you kept sweep busy and awake. We don't want them to stop coming because no one uses their services.
Our sincere and profound thanks go out to all of the folks who gave up their weekend to work very hard and make that a thoroughly enjoyable night. It turned out to be one of our smoothest rallies ever, even though it tested us in many ways. The rally was very professionally done to our usual high expectations for MLRC events. Bravo!
Stephen and Opal
