MINIFIED Posted January 8 Report Posted January 8 This is soooo on my list; unfortuantely I will be heading out of town and don't think I can wait until after the run to do so. If for some reason I can work out the logistics, I'll join in .. have a great time
Widdie Posted January 8 Report Posted January 8 I did the pre-run on Sunday and everything looks good … minus the salt and brine. The weekend is shaping up nicely as of today’s forecast, but you might want a hat if you will be driving with the top down. I also wanted to let folks know that we are starting at the Leesburg Safeway instead of the usual Leesburg Public House – Cars and Coffee. This gives us an easy escape route from Leesburg, so we don’t have to drive on Route 15. Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it and discussing plans for MTTS 2024 (Jill and I have booked all our hotels). I have attached the gpx file. _2024-01-08_.gpx 1

IndiCooper Posted January 14 Report Posted January 14 @Widdie what time do you think you’ll be at the farm?
GreenCactus Posted January 14 Report Posted January 14 Thanks @Widdie! That was a great route today. I can’t wait to try it in the summer. 1
STXMINI Posted January 15 Author Report Posted January 15 I just wanted to thank @Widdie (David) for keeping us all safe yesterday. We had some bad weather that created patchy spots on the roads, but I felt safe during the entire run. Driving on the backroads, with the snow in the trees, was a different kind of beauty, I really enjoyed the drive! 1
