We had the goal of completing Watson, as I am close to finishing the Randolph 100 and it was one of the few left . The conditions were amazing all day. Trails are in good shape with just some blowdowns. Snow and ice is gone (one teeny patch on Howker easily avoided). Really good vibes up and down the trails all day. Congratulations to Madison and her dog for finishing the 48 today on Madison! |
