I am afraid the ultra amnesia has not yet sunk in – although a mere 50K would be easy now, right?

Great Recap. Would love to see you on the trails again soon. Pisgah 50k is a good one that’s just a few weeks away. I’m sure you’ve recovered and that runners amnesia is getting it’s grip. Grant, Loni, Rik, Steve, and I will be there from my team, along with John (RD), Mike and Dave most likely.
See you on the trails

And I agree with you that the Chandler Ridge Trail is pretty technical for bikers – it is certainly well beyond my limited biking abilities. I can’t imagine how tough it must have been before they did some trail maintenance with federal money last summer. Glad you are enjoying exploring the trails – the whole chunk of land on that high plateau from Goshen to Jerusalem is full of great mt biking opportunities.

Thanks

Jeff

I rode out from BTV on my mixed terrain bike, then up to Silver Lake via 27. I did the Chandler Loop starting at about 4, didn’t see any runners on the trail, but watched a few of them run by as I was setting up camp. I did meet the lovely ladies at the aid station @ Chandler and Minnie Brook who were packing up and let me top off water and snag a Coke and banana. I closed the loop on Leicester Hollow and camped, then did some single track and forest roads back to Lincoln and pave / dirt back to Burlington on Sunday, including the bit around the Sugar Hill Reservoir and Brooks Rd.

Chandler Ridge was sort of crazy. I was lugging an odd shaped piece of luggage – kudos to all the runners who took on that trail.

I’ve been reading your blog for insight into the terrain down your way. Lots of exploring to do!

Keep writing!
