100% precipitations, mid 30s and gusting wind... what could be a better day to test this 17 foot Aquaterra Sea Lion. In two weeks we'll try to test it in open ocean.

First place... Again...
Team Calleva (Valentin Chapa, John Ciccarello, Karen Stump and Dmitri Kaganovich) is the first coed-4 team to cross the finish line at the 8 hours course of the Odyssey AR Ogaine. Of course, we've been the only prime division team to start the race, but we got the first overall position as well. Thanks to John for fast navigation. And thanks to Odyssey for setting this great event in Douthat State Park. See you in January...

The Odyssey AR Ogaine this weekend.
That's going to be the first rogaine race in almost 3 years. The last one was the Central New York Orienteering ROGAINE XVI — "Woody Remains East". Dmitri Kaganovich and Victor Lin took the 3rd overall place in this 24 hours event.
Now the new Calleva team is going to race 8 hours version of the Odyssey AR Ogaine. And guess who is back? John Ciccarello is going to race with us again. Welcome back, John!

Patagonia training.
Calleva Patagonia Racing team is back from the first big training in Canaan Valey, West Virginia. Mark, Val, Dima and Sara closed 110 km biking loop around Canaan Valey, hiked 20 km in Dolly Sods Wilderness, and got 3 hours sleep, testing the new sleeping bags and tent. Conditions were perfect as 5 out of 9 inches of the last week snow melted down.It was muddy, slippery and cold enough to simulate the Patagonia
conditions. We also tested our seat post racks and new
ultra light map holder. Everything survived the toughest technical ride and bushwalk of the highest valley on the east coast. All photos from the training are on the Mark's facebook. The map of the bike loop is here.
The next training will be in December. We will work out our paddling and ropes skills. Many of the Calleva folks also registered for the Odyssey Rogaine in two weeks.
