Route was posted Thursday night. It allows for many alterations, but full route was 5.5 miles with 400+ feet of elevation gain.
Arrive at AO with temps in the teens. Quick discussion of route to hear that the route was “a little excessive”. Pace pairs talked about where to cut route to make it back 0615. Headlamps on.. It’s 0530, let’s mosey. YHC ran solo, so was not part of any Mumble Chatter. Back to flag with a few mins left so circle back for the 6. YHC does like this route. It is a challenging 5+ miler. Rollers the 1st 2 miles. Mile 2 to 3 is a steady grind uphill…a step Incline 4 miles. Then a nice downward grade for a mile back to the AO.
Enjoy your day.
thank you for the Accountability.
