Upcoming events
| News2021-04-14Latest newsletter added to website 2021-1-27There are currently beginner ski and snowshoe courses (with regular flags) at Cumming Nature Center. Maps are available at the front desk at CNC or through UsynligO. These courses will be available all winter. Intermediate and advanced courses will be available for a few weeks around NordicFest in mid-to-late February. Last year's ski-o courses at Harriet Hollister are available in UsynligO only (no flags or markers in the woods) for training purposes. About UsynligO: UsynligO is a cell phone app that lets you orienteer without flags - it plays a sound when you arrive at a control location and can also provide hints for finding the right location. You do need cell service (or wifi) to download a course so it is a good idea to do this at home before traveling to the venue, but only the GPS is needed to run a course. Bristol Orienteering Klub has a helpful guide for how to get and use UsynligO: https://www.bristolorienteering.org.uk/virtual-orienteering-courses To browse courses or print maps from your computer, go to https://usynligo.no/filter?category=ROC%20ski-o 2020-11-25Latest newsletter added to website 2020-09-26Fall orienteeringFirst, the Rochester Map Adventure has been extended to October 15th.

She lovingly baked all week for us. Before moving out of the area Mary made one handwritten book of all her recipes. The question was how to best share those recipes with the rest of the club? Mary’s daughter Judy recently answered the question by making a professional copy of Mary’s original book as a gift to her mom. This book is available to our club members by following this [link]. We hope you enjoy having the chance to bake these recipes in your own kitchen! |
