Updated List: Hounds and Hares BCMC

BCMC
Of course the offer to join Sunday mornings Hounds & Hares BCMC is still open, but to enter now is kinda' cheap because you've had a chance to look at the times your adversaries have called in. If you decide you'd like to join us, choose an honest time and start so that you finish at 10:00am.

Hounds & Hares BCMC
There are only two things certain in this thing, the place you leave in and the time you leave at. Once you're heart is pounding and you're climbing, it's up to you to keep your spot and arrive on time.

If each participant has indicated an accurate and honest time, everyone should be arriving at the top by 10:00 am. This means the real push to maintain your place will happen in the last 200 to 300 meters.

A few tips and reminders:
  • Start is just south of the Grouse Grind gate.
  • Finish is atop Grouse just below the chalet after you step over the yellow rope
  • It's F'n cold so bring something warm to wear up top and for the download
  • Bring $10 for the download and a few bucks for java
  • It's icy in the middle of the trail after the 3/4 mark. Walk in the soft pack on the sides. If it's shiny, it's slippery.
  • BCMC is a public trail so please be super respectful of others. Say hello and hope they don't stab you. People traveling downhill should give you the right of way coming up but may not. Smile and keep moving.
  • The trail splits after it starts to flatten up top. 
  • Stay to the left and follow the two types of markers: 
  1. a white reflective diamond that says BCMC or 
  2. a reflective orange plate that has BCMC felted onto it.
There is obviously no obligation to show up but it would be nice to let somebody know so we aren't waiting for you. 

I'll likely be freezing my ass off in the parking lot at the start area about 8:45 to see people off. You'll notice I'm hanging onto my thirties  and aiming to climb in 39 minutes. It's all I got now, baby!
