3nd Covered Bridge Snowshoe Races
February 26th, 2005 - Greylock Glen - Adams, MA

PH and I figured out a "two-for-one" event;  two distances with a break in the middle.  You could stop after the Hoxie-Thunderbolt 3.5-miles, or continue for another 4.5-miles (total of 8-miles) for the full Covered Bridge experience.

Awesome event, one I am really proud of directing and organizing.  PH is invaluable with these undertakings, would not be possible without his support and assistance.

I crossed the line 6th out of 64 in the short stuff, and 9th out of 43 for the full blown Covered Bridge Race.
