Need more snow
Feb. 10th, 2007 03:20 pm(Getting a little repetitive here, aren't we?)
Went out to the city forest and did my circuit, just _barely_ enough snow cover. I figure I can get in one more run, maybe Monday, before the track combines too much ice with too much gravel.
And since we have a 15K cross-country race scheduled for next Saturday, the folks in charge had better crank up the snow machines pronto. Some of that route runs along an old railroad embankment, which might be okay, but then it takes off through the woods up hill and down dale where the stumps and roots and rocks will dine well on skis.
Silly me, I thought that living in Maine would guarantee good skiing.
4 miles, 50 minutes +/- (I stopped to talk to a guy about halfway through.)
