Smit dog - thanks for the advertisement!!
I rode the trail yesterday. There was some snow, but not too bad. I rode with two novices and one kid with tennis shoes. Needless to say, it was a slow lap, but I was able to confirm some mileages and remove some of the deadfall from the trail. Luckily, we made the 25 miles with no injuries.
Round # 1 on the Family Series will be in Indiana (Sand Booger) on April 22nd. Jeff Fredette plans to have a 15 mile loop and will run it twice - 12 mph and 18 mph (same as round # 2).
