I’m heading over to the Island on Thursday night for four days of course scouting in preparation for the MOMAR Cumberland. I have a brand new course designed so all I have to do is vet it out and make sure the mapping is accurate. Here’s what I can tell you about this year’s Cumberland course:

1. It will only have one kayak leg
2. It will have a real orienteering stage
3. We may bring out the pool noodles (if we get nice weather)
4. The finish line is going to rock

I’m really looking forward to scouting out some new areas and to get back on the bike after a month off. If you happen to spot me on the trails, please don’t be offended if I ride the other way… I don’t want to give you any hints… ha ha.

I also have a weekend pass to The Big Time Out Music Festival! This is a three day concert in Cumberland featuring some amazing talent. I’ve already seen a bunch of the bands this year because we booked them for the events with the City of Surrey.  The festival headliners are Metric, De La Soul, K’naan, and many more. Hopefully, i’ll see some MOMARIANS there!

AND the final GutBuster Trail Run is this weekend up at Mt. Washington. It’s an ascent up to the top from the lodge and you get to take the lift down. I’m not sure if I can make it up for it but maybe you’ll see me there.
