 | Comments: |
The forecast was gloomy, dark, and dismal, so WTF it was. I barebooted the entire way although some folks would be more comfortable in light traction here and there. Would definitely bring spikes. Started to drizzle with 2-3 miles to go, so out came the umbrella. Had these trails to myself today. |
