Finally Masks!

Finally masks are mandatory in public places in BC. There has been a lot of reluctance by health officials (masks may cause a false sense of security, possible backlash against those that cannot wear masks etc.) but finally pressure from retail store and the public was strong enough.

XContest 2019/20

The final score is in and I made it onto the first page of the Women's XContest. There were 1131 participants and I am #43. Top 4%... not too shabby. I'm also #1 of Canadian women. All in all more a fun thing but nice to show up on the first page (and among the first 50). 

But most of my high scoring flights are from our Colombia trip in February. If Covid keeps us from travelling to XC destinations it will be difficult to get so many points in the 2020/21 season.
