K2 and I rode out to Bigelow Hollow State Park, to meet up with the Old Goat, Wuzzam, and Wuzzam's son.  The humidity broke, yet it was still pretty warm and sunny.  Occasionally, a nice strong breeze upped my mood.

We began along the old Breakneck 20k course, taking the Ridge Trail out to the north end of Breakneck Pond.  After Cat Rocks, the trail has relocated a good distance through the boulder field.  This avoids the old beaver dam crossing, but adds another quarter to half-mile to the section.

Once at Breakneck Pond, we chose the east side trails, which were as I remembered, just overgrown a bit.  Truthfully, the Ridge Trail had some "narrow" sections as well.  A few more years and it might be difficult to see where the trail is.

At the south end of Breakneck, I think we joined the Nipmuck Trail for a bit, Wuzzam and Son broke off, and the Old Goat and I continued to the main road, and then the east side of Little Bigelow Pond Trail to the parking area.  9.1-miles on our legs.  K2 pulled in shortly after, with a 7+ mile day.
