The event was an 80m classic and held at the Eno River State Park – Few’s Ford Access. It was sunny all day and plenty hot. We had ten participants and seven starts. Many people found the Eno River area quite challenging with the change in elevaiton needed to get from one fox to the next. Afterward we had a good time going over possible strategies. A super big thanks goes out to Imre who helped pick up controls.
We placed pictures from the event on one of our home web pages. Enjoy.
