Today I am embarking on a moderate adventure. Sure 32 miles dosent seem moderate but keep in mind I used to do the VT 50 and won it twice. No this one should be fun and beautiful.

plan to leave at around 2PM and race the daylight. Reason actually is that I got up late. The plan is to park at the main trailhead at the Rattlesnake Recreation Area. I want to ride my bike up the cooridor (click on maps for a visual) and lock it up at the wilderness boundary. I expect it to take me 1.5 hours to get there.

I will slop on my sneeks to run the remaining 5 miles to the peaks summit. I expect to return a little slower taking pictures. Once back on my stead though it will be a matter of 1 hour to get back to the car. From there it is to Taco DeSoul .... Yummm.
