Nice Scotty. There is some very good mountain biking on the flanks of Windham High Peak.

Yeah, I can see that after hiking it.

We hiked the Black range (Blackhead, Black Dome and Thomas Cole) which are the peaks in those pics. 8.5 miles to do all three with combined 2800 vert. Took 7 hours with breaks. Not as steep as Devil's Path but very challenging hiking.

Nice pics Scotty, new phone? They look like you actually took them, unlike some of your hiking TR pics.;) I'd love to join you, but I don't think my knee will let me, have fun.

I stepped on the scale at the Y, 235lbs, wow, 10lb loss, figured all that canoeing was paying off. Stepped on my bro's scale right after, 250lbs, and I trust his scale more than the Y's. Oh well, guess it'd be worse if I hadn't been doing all that canoeing. Better workout paddling my fat ass up and down the Susquehanna. I am over the weight limit of my boat, 200lbs. The placard does say 200lbs, or one person. Time to get serious, ski season will be here soon.

Hopefully in the next month I will meet up for a hike, I need to get my legs back in shape for hiking. Did 10 miles here in CT last weekend and legs aren't up for the Cats yet.
