Rollerski long 2:39:16 [1] 26.6 mi (5:59 / mi) +415m 5:43 / mi
Oh hey rollerskiing. Maybe this will be the last time we are acquainted until next summer (if Allah is willing). I was late since I tried to do too much this morning (knead dough, eat breakfast and put road tips on, yes, in December, after realizing my pole tips wouldn't puncture skin ever) and rolled in at 9:13, eating oatmeal in the car. A quick change and I was on the road, then realized I'd forgotten my hi-viz vest, so I was about 5 minutes behind the pack.
I caught some folks on the long climb, and went no poles for a bit (ow) and then hammered up the top to catch Frank et al at the Harvard decision. I went long with three juniors, the ones who sprint town lines and downhills (ah, to be young and reckless again). Down 110 and up Bare Hill, need to scout out the new pavement on Bolton/Harvard for next year (not sure what it would add, but looks nice). I won't put it on the map until scouted.
Actually, looks like there's a fun-looking loop that needs to be scouted. From the oblique intersection of Slough, Bolton and East Bare Hill, go down Bolton to Old Harvard to Green, right on Bare Hill which becomes Scott, left on West Bare Hill. Maybe I should go rollerskiing again tomorrow to check it out.
Anyway, down and around and caught Frank at Robinwood. Juniors went up Horse Farm Hill and I am done with that, took my route, got to Depot at the same time, but I wanted to ski a marathon, so I did the Picnic climb. A little bonky at the end, but not too bad.
