MINIFIED Posted January 8 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widdie Posted January 8 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STXMINI Posted January 15 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
