QOC Meet at McKeldin

We made the most of the mild weather today for a winter training session at the McKeldin area of Patapsco. I had only been to the east end of Patapsco and this area was new to me. I met up with Liz, who is planning on racing with Rev3 in 2012. We hit the trails for an hour of mountain biking.  The area has about 8 miles of bike-able trails, all in good condition.  Not too technical, a few steep climbs and some nice fast downhill sections.  Liz and I tied together the white, red and purple trails for about 8 miles of riding.
After the ride we hung around a bit waiting for Dennis to arrive and then hit the Brown O course set up by QOC. It was a nice loop with 8 controls.  No heavy undergrowth was present so all point to point navigation was easy.  We worked around the course in about 50 minutes and then enjoyed some of the snacks put out by the club.  Those guys really know how to put on a great meet.
