Yet another ride on the trails of the White Memorial this afternoon. Although somewhat pressed for time due to the approaching darkness, I managed a nice 8+ mile loop. My back is feeling a tad bit better and after being finally able to get back out on the bike the last few weeks, my "pedal power" today was noticeably better than it has been in my last few outings. Although ski season is approaching, I hope to get out and crank a few more times this year.

Here's the track.

My usual starting spot. The parking area is off route 63 on the right hand side as your headed south from Litchfield. It's just past the soccer fields and in the depression before the climb towards the more popular parking area adjacent to the junction with route 61.

I know the spot. I usually park in the more popular spot just up the road.

Did you start crossing 63 and going up the hill to the pond, or did you go up the hill from the parking lot and do the loop in that direction?

Started out in the west/northwesterly direction and ended up crossing 63 twice towards the end on my ride. The first crossing of 63 was up near rte 61 and the final crossing was at the end of my ride.
