Weather for this attempt was pretty good; snow had melted, and trails were pretty dry. Temperatures were in the low 40's and upper 30's so great conditions to go fast in! This route is super fun with lots of terrain variation. The best parts for me are the long downhill rhododendron tunnel and the steep switchbacks on the mountain ridge overlooking the Bent Creek Experimental Forest trail system that you drop back into. Total milage is 9.9, but my Garmin recorded 6.7.
