Beautiful Loop - Week 6

A little retrospective report on this weeks run of the Beautiful Loop since I'm falling behind on blogging:

BEST. CONDITIONS. EVER.



With virtually no new snow over the past week the local snowmobile club was able to get out and groom almost the entire loop. Anything that wasn't groomed was at least ridden over enough to be well packed. Conditions were the epitome of snowmobile trail perfection.



Emma and I ran the loop in the clockwise direction, setting off at a pretty easy pace and keeping it consistent throughout. The perfect conditions allowed for pretty quick time, my fastest of the year by more than 10 minutes.

time: 2:21:29
distance: 15.17 miles
pace: 9:20

weather: mid 20's, sunny

conditions: nirvana

gear: Inov-8 Oroc 280 with screws, wool socks, tights, 2x long sleeve top, buff, gloves, mittens, Nathan HPL #020
