teamroll: at Calvin's Challenge 2011

The report from Pascale was the weather was much better than last year, because there was no rain, the temperatures were warmer and the winds were manageable.  Compared to last year when it rained for the first 3 hours and the winds were around 15-20 most of the day, oh yeah it was cold.
