 | Comments: |
Traction:Spikes/Bareboot low, 'shoes high. Trails:All well packed and up high all mostly obliterated esp between the Twins. Wind: Ferocious going over Guyot - going uphill towards Zealand required braking action, going downhill towards S Twin was a climb with Acupuncture thrown in for good measure. Views: many fine vantage points from which to admire the varied grays of the clouds(tint). Total sun light: less than 10 seconds. |
