KG4.0a Route Preview

After much consideration, recon and planning I've got a set of routes together for the KG4.0a. Here is a sneak peak at the KG4.0a extra credit route. I'd considered going remote again this year but between the challenges for lack of support which have been exacerbated by the loss this past year, some of the only remote stores near the potential route coupled with the fact that we have all spent the past year in isolation, I decided to stick to some more chosen paths. 

This affords us the luxury of passing by multiple stores where one can restock on fluid and nutrition. It also allows us to once again plan the main rest stop around my aunt and uncle's Top of the Mountain Vegetable Farm + Bakery in Walden. I've also planned the route choices, of which we have three of varying length, so that we should have lots of overlap throughout the day. The routes will be roughly 70, 85 and 100 miles in length. Climbing of course will be stout, above 100' of gain per mile. But it is VT afterall.

As always, we have to limit the number of participants for this event due to a lack of parking at the start. We'll be getting a registration sheet with contact info as well as an event waiver together this week. I highly recommend an RSVP as soon as possible if you are planning to come. As always, we also have limited space available at our place, the start and finish, for folks who would like to stay. Additionally, there are spots available in which to tent.

More info coming shortly.
