Trail Run 1:20:30 [3] 8.4 mi (9:35 / mi)
shoes: NB 809
Albany Pine Bush from Madison Avenue extension entrance. Ran all of the "official" trails plus some of the "prohibited" ones. :-) About half of trails snow covered but well packed. Upper 20's (maybe even 30) and mostly sunny.
One area (about 30 acres?) has been cleared of underbrush down to the dirt (sand actually) in a habitat restoration effort - strange to run from woods into what could be a scene from Lawrence of Arabia and then back into the woods. It will be interesting to watch the revegetation process (a few trees were left, presumably to provide seeds).
Stumbled across some mountain bike "terrain features" while off the sanctioned trails. A series of bumps (read pits and dot knolls with a trail across them) followed by a ramp consisting of about 3 feet of dirt and another 3 feet of pallet supported by two logs to give about a 6 foot drop down onto a wooded hill. These guys must be crazy - and probably nominees for a Darwin award.
