SUNDAY

This Sunday, September 3 at 8:00 a.m., meet at Ward Pound Ridge Meadow Lot when we run a new course—The Purple Twisted Loop. I’ve created a series of 8-mile “twisted” loops—courses that weave around themselves on adjacent trails. We’ve run the orange loop, and now we’ll run the purple one. If you’re not up for the full distance, there are plenty of opportunities to take a shortcut. If you’re looking for an early start, join Jeff at 5:00 a.m., or arrive at 6:00, or 7:00 but bring your own maps—I’ll be there at 8:00. And those out there that have thought about joining the group but don’t know where to start, show up at 8:00 a.m. and we can run an easy 2 to 3 mile loop together just to try out the trails.

MONDAY

This Monday, September 4, at 7:00 a.m., meet at Sylvan Glen, near Yorktown. This is a former quarry that provided the stone for the ramps to the George Washington and Whitestone bridges and there are remnants throughout the park as a result. We’ll follow a course that will cross one road and continue into Granite Knolls, an adjacent park where we’ll find the giant boulder—you’ll know it when you see it—then continue on the perimeter of Granite Knolls and cross a bridge over the Taconic State Parkway into Woodlands Legacy Fields Park and add extra miles.

I hope to see you out there this weekend.

Stay On Course

The Free Avenza Maps software now has a free trail map of the Reservation available here. I’ll make .kml files available as I can so you can load them as layer overlays. Now there’s no excuse to get lost.
