Can anyone cover for me for my event on Sunday, July 24th?  There’s not much to do. I can call the Mozzie Creek Grill to make sure we have a spot there. Just need someone to show up, sign in, and send off the troops.  Please contact me if you're able to help.   Very much appreciated.

At the Club Fat Ass Steering Committee meeting last night, we noticed that 75% of the people in attendance were either running in the Knee Knackering North Shore Trail run or volunteering for the race. 

To repeat a 2010 Bagger Challenge ruling, all Kneeknackerers who get there qualify for a Black Bag.

You need not bowl over the hapless aid station volunteers and gain the extra 2 metres to the summit BLA proper to qualify.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE. Protect your kidneys.

The hike up to Lynn peak was of a fairly gental grade and easy to follow trail. We parked at Lynn headwaters lot, headed toward rice lake and up the trail to the peak from the loop trail. I would think most could manage it in three hours walking, maybe two running? Ama, the bagging baby enjoyed the trip and spent most of it squealing... Presumably to ward off bears.

I had the distinct pleasure of being invited to help pace & crew Mr. David Crerar, a highly capable and experienced ultra runner, at the 2011 Western States 100-miler. What an honor! Here's a little bit about the journey before and during the event.
