I put off including the elevation gain in my planning so I wouldn't be intimidated as much :) but I foolishly added it up anyway. So if anyone is interested the average daily gain is 13430 ft and the total gain is 67150 ft I'll edit the original post to show the daily gain.

No but it has MOUNTAINS!

Sweet! I may need a few drinks to get in the zone. Too bad the Coors lite special is on Wed. See you there!

I agree with Swollen Toes! Ordinary hikes won't give you that buzz you need for long now that you've had a taste of something else. Before you know it you'll be headed out for 26 hour 12 peak winter Pemi loops :D or not.....

Hey now THAT sounds tasty!

Pine Bend brook: dry and easy except some ice on rocks above Scaur ridge junction. Blowdowns removed, no traction needed. North Tripyramid to Whiteface via Kate Sleeper trail: great conditions no traction needed, blowdowns removed. Whiteface to Passaconaway via Rollins and Diceys mill trail...

We put on microspikes a little above bugle cliff and kept them on to just above Gibbs falls on the Crawford path. Trails mostly ice with exposed rocks covered in black ice. Rained on and off throughout the hike it was a good afternoon for gear testing.

Hey, why did you give me a red square? Is it because I'm faster than SJ? :)

Oh, no problem! I'm already planning to set up some lawn chairs in strategic spots to watch them "fly" by But don't let it happen again.

Thanks very much to ADKnBVI for donating the use of a SPOT2 during the attempt. Hopefully we can set it up so progress will be recorded and accessible online!

Yeah I already contacted that tight wearing priss and I took the butcher knife and put it up to her neck. I said if you want to live to see tomorrow, you better start fryin' them eggs a little bit better then what you a fryin' em - I'm tired of eatin' sloppy, slimy eggs! just left over from...

So to keep tradition alive and to honor one of my early inspirations to do these attempts I am posting this super early in true Mats Roing style! Here is the rough itinerary : Day 1. Isolation 12 miles , Cats thru Moriah* 19.7 miles, Waumbek* 7.2 miles, Cabot* 8 miles. Total :46.9 miles...

I would agree that most of the actual harvesting was done in the winter months. Not that they were worried about impact. But do you think they "built" the roads and grades while the ground was frozen?

I regularly run long distances with 1 or 2 22oz hand held water bottles and have never had any issues to speak of. Although when nearing the end of a 50 is sure feels good to dump any remaining water out for the final push.

Gear Junkie Update! Just picked up the new Salomon Deemax dry 2. First impressions are very positive. They weigh in a little heavier than the Snowtrip Ts I used last year but I think this is due to a more substantial tread pattern and stiffer midsole. These may be the perfect winter shoe for...

I would think that the main reason that the abandoned railroad grades, roads and camps lack any substantial regrowth is due to extreme soil compaction from logging activities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_compaction and for the more scholarly folks...

I already did my time counting calories back in 08' ;) Which gives me the right to poke a little fun :) Now I harness my love of food to motivate my training. It's a tough battle with the constant flow of BS coming at you to eat this eat that. Gotta get back to the basics of eating. like...

So many bad things you could say about a name like Lincolns throat. VERY hard to contain myself.

Dang that was fun and I have a new appreciation for Dom Perignon! :D Thanks for letting me crash on your very plush patio bricks are those http://www.ecosmartinc.com/catecorubber.php ?
