Twilight O #11 - Bruce/O'Connor Ridge

a normal start to my current days - walk Hodge, catch the bus to work, walk at lunchtime...but at least it was different after work!

the 11th event of the Twilight O series (and first for 2015) was at Bruce/O'Connor Ridge...I did the Orange 3 course (2.9k) and Jodie the Orange 2 (4.3k)...it was quite cool...I was lucky a short Orange course was on offer for me to walk around in the brace as there's normally only two Orange courses...

the most challenging aspect was the downhills...at least I stayed on my feet!
