entered the Urban Polaris which will be held on Saturday 16 April...teamed up with Jodie for the Davcal Express...start/finish will be at the Old Bus Depot...
"The National Trust Urban Polaris is a unique seven hour cycling and navigation event set in and around Canberra. The event is undertaken in pairs and consists of teams finding the fastest route throughout a series of control points spread all around the Canberra region. Each control point is assigned a point value that competitors collect to accumulate the highest score. At the end of the day the team with the highest score (minus any time penalties for running over the allotted seven hour time limit) is declared the winner. “Orienteering on wheels” is a comment that simplistically sums up the event! [Ed: more rogaine than orienteering I would say!]
The Urban Polaris has been successfully run numerous times over the past 15 years and this year the National Trust has decided to tie the concept into historic sites/assets spread throughout Canberra. From forgotten suburban cemeteries to World War I training trenches participants will delight in unlocking secrets of Canberra’s history at locations closer to home than they may think."
we did this event back in 2009 and covered just over 80ks in 6:50...
