This morning, 6:30am to 9:50am.
Going counter clock-wise, many huge trees downed blocking trail first 10-12 miles from storm 2 Thursdays ago. Some of the trees are huge Oak and Pines that will require heavy equipment or a chain saw crew to clear. Added about 45-60 min to the ride, real pita.
There maybe a way to use the first clockwise half coupled with a road, need to look at a map.
Most of the destruction is centered near Jemima - ages old trees snapped in 2 from 5' to 30' up - crowns resting in trails, not just trunks.
Dry conditions made for fast spots, especially heading back into Batsto.
Cool temps at start, minimal ticks (deet seems to work). Beautiful morning!
