    Conditions look good for Saturday's Night-O in McKaig / King of Prussia

    Lots of courses to choose from this year.   McKaig is a hilly place.  I created a "brown" course with not as much climb, and you can do much of the climb for "brown" on the road.   The "red" course has lots of climb, but it features a break from the forest with some easy navigation through an estate.

    If you think you're coming, it would be useful to send me an email to chris.hand@yahoo.com, what course (approximately) you think you'd be running on and if you want any Dominos pizza afterwards at $1 /slice.

    I should be ready for registrations as soon as 4:45 PM for 5:00 -7:00 PM starts.   Control pick-up at 8 ish.

    Registration and download are indoors at the Old Roberts Schoolhouse.   It's a small building to the west of the elementary school parking lot.

    There will be an outdoor porta-potty available.

    If you bring your download cable for your GPS, I may be able to show instant routegadget-like plots when you come back from your course.

    Prices are normal $7 for members and $12 non-members.  

    Below is a sample  section of the map.   Contours are USGS 10 feet.  Once you get to the hills, the woods are very clean and "white".

    Great place for Night-O.  The woods are very nice. The Frank family is looking forward to getting out on a Night course and helping at the event. Will send a note later this week with what courses we plan to run(walk?).
