Report: A beautiful day greeted the participants of the 7th annual Bill's Great Peak Ascent. 15 participants and myself started at the Rice Lake parking lot in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve (LSCR) shortly after 7:30 am. Custom routes seemed to be the choice of the day as several participants opted to avoid the long run down Mountain Highway in favour of some of the many mountain biking trails in the area. Time for a change, perhaps? Look for some official course modifications next year. Several others, including myself, took shorter routes, turning around at the quarry or top of St. George's trail.
The post-race event at the Mosquito Creek Grill included the usual free beer courtesy of the Grill and tons of swag -- nobody left empty handed.
Special thanks to Pamela for hauling up my camera and taking many of the route photos.
Thanks to all for participating and hope to see you next year a new and improved course.
