I got all the photos from my Speer adventure onto Flickr;
here's the slideshow or
here is the more traditional gallery. Map nerds might particularly like the map showing the route:
I should send a shout out to my friends competing in and organizing the
Storm the Eastern Shore AR this weekend -- hopefully it's a storm of happiness and not snow for you all!
The Eastern Shore is an interesting place to do a race because it's
essentially a couple mile wide peninsula of sand between the Chesapeake
and the Atlantic; the terrain isn't all that great for traditional AR pursuits like mountain biking and trekking, but it does have amazing paddling and that's something many races gloss over. There are also miles and miles of marshy wetlands that can always make for interesting times!
Props to our friend Sasha for the photos from the first Storm! I think
www.waramos.com has expired their shots from last year so . . . you'll need to make some new ones this weekend everyone!
