While I was out yesterday, saw a few of the GNA juniors training classic, and realized there was some pretty decent classic tracks set.
I think they had a BKL race this morning, on the short loop on the N side of Cobble, fair conditions. Went up the big hill around the E side of Cobble to the south trails. Birch is in god shape, along with 7A. Went out and back on that, then down the big S curve hill, turned around and went back up and then back out on Birch/7A again. There was a young couple snowshoeing down the S curve and they looked at me funny when I stopped, flipped my skiis around and headed right back up again. I should have looked at them funny - snowshoes for 4" of hardpack?? Hey, they're out, they paid for a trail ticket, they're following the rules, good for them.
Forgot how much more of a workout classic can be. Nice blue klister conditions, with a little extra blue on top for those sections where it's still a bit powdery. Some sections had vegetation coming up and a few rocks here and there.
Hoping we get hammered later this week, supposed to be a storm tracking this way.
