Saturday, 7/14/2012: Macedonia Brook State Park trails. This was my first time in this park and I was pleasantly surprised. The ridge trail is a 6.7 mile loop with incredible look-outs and tricky terrain. Unfortunately we got a bit confused/off track and only completed about 35% of the loop. It's tough in 90 deg temps on top of New England humidity. I plan to work up to running this loop by early fall.

Sunday, 7/15/2012: American Legion & People's State Forest Trails. First time attacking the Elliot Bronson Trail, this trail is 2.0 miles long with a 1,040 elevation gain. The elevation increases to its peak within the first mile and descents down the back side of the trail. It started pouring during the decent which was fun and a bit challenging. I'm starting to love my new Minimums MT10s. I've been hiking/running with a Hydration bladder... Now that I've used it a few times I wouldn't go out without it. A very useful tool.

Let me know if you need some additional company on your next hiking adventure. I'm getting tired for East Rock.
Bear Mt up in the wilds of Salisbury is a good one.
