Miles in May - Sun, Day 1
Submitted by Mark Dowsett on Mon, 05/19/2008 - 10:56.Now for the good part of day 1 at the Miles in May....they had a 103km task to the SE of Vulcan. Apparently the day took a while to get good. Ross Hunter was the only one to make goal. I talked to Rob Clarkson and he made it 20km short of goal.
Today (holiday Monday) brings overcast skies and a not-so-good forecast for today and the next two days look rather rainy.
