Bands and Live Performances I've been a part of:

#9.

Primitives, PNA Birthday Party for RK. Summer/Fall 1983.

Al Doe was installed as our lead singer, placing K on Bongos.

We had to scuffle a little a bit as TB left for school, and I switched to Guitar with BP on Bass.

LA Drummed like her life depended on it.

We rocked hard this night, playing something like ten or twelve songs in roughly 18 minutes.

At the end, Van-Go joined us onstage for a jam.

K2 and I drove out to Granville, I completed 4-miles in mid-forties temperatures and decent sunny skies through the late morning adventure.

Conway Covered Bridge Marathon - October 13th, 2012

Conway & Goshen, Massachusetts

On this day in 2012, Wuzzam and I ran the Conway Covered Bridge Marathon. We had Ned and his daughter's dog with us for the first 10-miles or so, and they were good company.

The idea for the run had been with me for a while, but what sealed it was Farmer Tom was doing a group trail ride through the woods from either Berkshire East or South Face, to the Covered Bridge in Conway.

We would start running in the opposite direction of the bikes, beginning at the St. Mark's Church parking area (we hoped to start running on an hour but we found out the church bells haven't been active for many years). We immediately crossed the Burkeville Covered Bridge and we were soon into Conway State Forest.

Highlights of the run included:

Cricket Hill
Joe Herrick Gulf
Smith Hill
Bullitt Reservation
Chapel Falls & Ledge/Pony Cliffs
Moore Hill and the Firetower

We finished really strong, final time of 6:33:15. This was my 50th completed marathon.

On the drive out to retrieve our two aid station drops, we ran into the mountain bike group crossing West Road exiting the DAR State Forest onto the Chapel Falls Trail toward Conway State Forest.

An excellent day!
