Red course on Pleasant Valley Farms map (the revised and expanded Norray Farm map). Nice course by Phil H-T giving us the full tour of the area south of Pleasant Valley Road. Most of the course was in woods with some running in open (yet to be mowed) fields and some limited trail running. Several legs relied fairly heavily on compass in areas of low contour detail (but there are plenty of hills).
Had a pretty good run with the only real miss on 14 when I got confused by the trails and fields near the control. Hesitated a few times and overshot two controls (but caught myself on both of them in ~ 30m). Probably 2 - 3 minutes total error. SL distance 6.0 km.

Trails at Beebe Hill State Forest. I had read that the local mountain bikers have built trails here, so I went looking for them. I found a few km of bike trails, plus did some running on other trails and dirt roads in the SF. Visited No Bottom Pond (Janet hiked there and may post pictures at some point). The mountain bike trails are nice for running but I avoided trying out any of the "features" (e.g. jumps off cliffs and ramps up and over boulders). I also found trailheads for some other trails, so will need to return. Temperature was in the upper 70's, at least 5 degrees cooler than it was at home.
Note: Forgot to restart my watch a few times, so distance and time are longer than reported. (Probably missed 7-8 minutes and ~0.5 mi)
