Bike-Trail 1:31:00 9.28 mi (9:48 / mi) +132m 9:23 / mi
shoes: Trek Marlin 7
Nockamixon SP bike trails. Did pretty much all of the trails (except Jaywalk and Eastern Woods, where I did the same segments on the return that I did on the way out - lower Jaywalk, upper Eastern Woods). Left my watch on the charger so recorded the track using Trailforks on my phone. No HR so I fudged the intensity levels to be about what previous similar rides were. Since it was Sunday of a holiday weekend, area was fairly busy. Plus they were doing some trail work in a couple of places (Thank you! - although do we really need another bump on Haycock?). Sunny, about 80F and dry.

UsnyligO course at Hickory Run set up by Sandy a few months ago. Lots of short legs, all on the westernmost part of the Sand Springs map, northwest of Hickory Run (the creek). Parts of the woods in this area are a bit more open, but there is still plenty of in-your-face beech saplings and enough deadfall in places to be a nuisance. Did well for the first 10 controls then distracted myself on the way to 11 and lost contact. Okay to 12 and 13 then the woods got thicker for 14, 15 and 16 and it became a bit of a slog. Tired (and therefore sloppy) for the rest of the course but just kept plugging along. Very nice weatherwise - sunny, dry and 70ish.

ahr:128 max:142 shoes: NB Summit KOM
Walking Purchase trails. Parked at the hospital at the east end of the park, which avoids having to do a big climb at the end (and a big descent to start). Still plenty of ups and downs. And rocks. Sunny, 80F with low humidity - quite nice.

Bike-Trail 1:08:28 6.97 mi (9:49 / mi) +65m 9:33 / mi
ahr:123 max:171 shoes: Trek Marlin 7
Green Lane trails. Parked at the easternmost lot along Knight Rd. (the "horse-trailer" parking) so I could spend more time on the trails across the road. Took advantage of the opportunity to exercise with the dew point above 70F one more time - forecast is for humidity to drop for at least the next few days. Did one excursion into an unfamiliar area which was likely private land (saw some posted signs as I was leaving the area) - oops.

Checking out Black River Sanctuary, an area recently preserved by Wildlands Conservancy. Trails are works in progress, marked to varying degrees with streamers, pin flags and paint. Plenty of rockiness and a bit of climb. Glad to see this piece of land preserved (187 acres, about 5 miles away). Too hot to run (upper 80s and humid) so this was more of a hike with some occasional jogging (when the trail was obvious enough, not too rocky, and flat or downhill). Trail was overgrown (or under-trimmed) in places, particularly under the powerline - longer pants would have been appropriate for these sections. Unexpected discoveries were a pond (~20m diameter) and several rocky outcrops. I think there are a few areas of the preserve which the current trails don't get to, so more to explore.
