Day 5 of hill-climb week. (Not yet sure if 5 days is enough for hill-climb week or if I'll go for the full 7.)
A wonderful tour NW of Brattleboro, with the west side of East West Road as the highlight. In the 6 miles warm-up I was quite sure that I would not try too hard on the hill, but when the time came, there seemed some life in the legs so I just kept pushing. Steepest part was at the end and I was glad it ended when it did. 12:50, but I didn't started right at the bridge, so maybe 13:20 if I had. Whatever, felt good!
And then a tour of some of the hills in Dummerston, real pretty, some nice properties. And even, between miles 15 and 16, some really nice looking terrain for orienteering.
I was going to finish up the same way I'd started, along the old rail line on the north side of the West River, but the first 3.5 miles of that were pretty sketchy, so I crossed a one-lane bridge and headed back into town on route 30. But then I saw a sign for Upper Dummerston Road and the Brattleboro CC and thought I should go by there. Saw just 4 golfers, and I figured the odds were pretty good I was having more fun than they were.
About 16 miles of dirt.
