SRRC Enfield Plus -- Sun. June 15

Again a smallish crew at Dunkin's: Mark at work, Andy and Bill on the Mt Graylock Half, so it was me, Jim F. and Ivan, plus Lisa and Savanna (from Little Springtime's grade) to make us five. We set off together and started under 202 to get to Howard and then separated into two parties, heading to Jackson, across GeoHannum and along Hamilton (ladies elsewhere, not sure where). A crew was digging up the rail crossing, but we jogged around them and the bemused policeman with a wave, then down Bay to Allen and the long uphill, across 9 and 202, and on. Just before Enfield decided to do the Quabbin loop, which was very pleasant till Jim turned his ankle; however he recovered and we pressed on, up the extra hill out and then long down to 9, round the dealer and up Jabish hill, crossing straight over and all the way to our start, thus:

Time: 1:18:39
Distance: 9.44 miles
Speed: 7.2 mph

Comments: still a bit sore in the thighs from the combination of running and biking yesterday, so this was a pleasant outing -- an 8 followed by a 7:30 and then much slower, so we all got a chance to both work the hills and yet stay comfortable. Egg and cheese bagel afterwards was just perfect!
