As a followup to an issue was raised at the meeting last night; whether there is sufficient interest in attending the first running of the Nature's Harmony Eco Race in Mattawa three Saturdays from now, September 25th.
Hello Volunteers;
The trailer was relocated to Lee Park today, and I have picked up the portable radios. The city hopes to have the power connected tomorrow. I have Spectrum tentatively scheduled for Wednesday afternoon to connect the base stations.
Keeling and I dropped off some furniture on Sunday and placed it in the trailer, so most of it should be there now. We did notice some water damage from ceiling leaks. I also picked up the computers from Keeling that will be used for the terminals.

Hello everyone;
This year I am happy to report that no one got lost for long. There was a report of several bikes heading the wrong way between CP1 and CP3, but they were chased down and turned around quite quickly.
Approximately 74 riders took part this year - 8 in the long race and the rest in the 61k. Start times were 09:00 long race, and 10:00 for short race.
As Bill will be away enjoying(?) his family wedding, I have updated the map with what I believe are the checkpoint lats/longs.
I have printed out 6 of them and will bring them to Mattawa for Saturday. If we get any additional volunteers, I'll print out a
few more. (Let me know if you will be attending) The map is in archive/documentation/2010 Lost etc.
The long course race (112km) gets underway at 09:00 and the short course (61km) gets underway at 10:00 -
that means we don't have to get up really early.
