Got to forest at 7:55 - was told Kevin & Bruce had left early - headed for Bald Mtn. Took off immediately and pushed very hard over woodchuck to try and catch them (~3min lead) picked them up on the dirt road near sandpit. Good run up through the N section of SSF and up to Pinnacle, then back over Bald Mtn. I pushed the climb and got ahead and missed the new trail off the summit, and proceeeded over the summit on bigger trails, wrapped around to the east and the first two trails deadended in back yards with No Trespassing signs, bushwack N in each case picking up another dead end. Third one ended at the head of a driveway and I could see the dirt road leading back to the forest so I just jogged down to the road, only to see Kevin and Bruce headed back into the woods (having taken the correct trail down the face of Bald.) Having gotten to Pinnacle in 49 minutes, I wanted to push to see if I could get close to 90 minutes. By the time I crossed back over 190 I knew I couldn't, but pushed just the same. Finished in 94:15, about 3:30 ahead of Kevin & Bruce.
Note Dist/climb estimated as Pinnacle sits N of the map I have. Route to the N slope of Bald was 17.4km, 643m climb, so the estimate is not too far off.
