Field Operations
An operation is a ride with paperwork, often a trail speed assessment. The record names the date, the place, the length, the difficulty, whether intervals are kept, and what it costs. If a box says the assembly point is not yet designated, there is nowhere to go yet. The announcement can still be real.
The office does not title these days as races. The people on them may still ride as fast as they can, and may care about the time. That is the intended reading.
Operation: Trans San Marcos
The season's principal trail speed assessment. The office does not call it a race. Speed will be recorded, on purpose, over a long day in the San Marcos sector.
| Date | To be fixed in the next revision. The operation itself is no longer hypothetical. |
|---|---|
| Place | Assembly point not yet designated. This page is not yet a meeting point. |
| Route length | Long. The figure will be posted with the assembly point. The assessment is meant to take the day. |
| Difficulty | A proper trail speed assessment. Features are ridden as the builders left them. The course is not tidied for the occasion. |
| Timing | Individual speed is recorded and compared. The comparison is the point of the day. |
| Entry cost | None collected on this site. |
Operation: Weeknight Interval 00
Archived sample of a small trail speed assessment. Findings are illustrative. The place is withheld so the record is not an invitation to repeat a private evening.
| Date | Wednesday, 12 September 2026 |
|---|---|
| Place | Not published. This archive is not a meeting point. |
| Route length | Short enough to repeat. Sample figure, 14 km. |
| Difficulty | One feature that still asked a question, left as it was found. |
| Timing | Individual intervals were kept, for the pleasure of knowing. |
| Entry cost | None was collected. |
