 | Comments: |
Terrific multiple loops, as usual. Kind of a rainy/gray morning. Went the backside of Goose Pond, then to Big Sugarloaf and down the backside of Sugarloaf to the Blue Trail which obviously gets little traffic - kinda getting a bit brushy. Pond was pretty, as usual. Did around 4-5 miles I guess. Combo jog on the downhills and flats/walk the uphills - this is a fun go-to spot. |
