Following the first bike section, we had to use a ladder to get our map for the run

We have to take the bikes back to the transition area from the racks at the map station

Uh oh, there were supposed to be two maps

Now we're working together, one plotter and one double-checker
Date: 07/21/2007

|
More plotting (the Northing coordinates were missing a decimal place, requiring more care)
Date: 07/21/2007

Yeah, still plotting
