You've heard of Brad Hudson. You've heard of Kate Hudson. You've heard of Henry Hudson. Have you heard of Steve Hudson? New route designer, Steve has followed up his last week's Farmington Flats run w/ ... a 14+ mile out and back. For those who need 22+, run the 14+ from VDP to VDP and then tack on another 8 by continuing thru VDP toward the Brickyard Rd parking lot for 4 and come back to VDP for the final 4. Start time @ VDP @ (you ready for this?) 6 AM.
(If you find getting your butt out of bed this early a challenge, consider rolling into the VDP parking lot @ about 8:00 AM and run the last 8 miles w/ those who'll've done 14 by then.)
Start @ Virtual Dirt Pile (off Collinsville Rd), go to Collinsville. Then head West across river (Rt 179 / Bridge St). Then head South West. Stay on the roads (Claire Hill Rd) to the reservoir. Take path (Cold Brook / Clear Brook Rd) for 2 miles then return. 2 moderate hills are on this route.
If you need help w/ driving directions to VDP parking lot ... Instead of taking the right off Farmington Ave onto Brickyard Rd, keep going on Farmington Ave toward Unionville. Go strait at the intersection (don't bear left, don't bear right) which will be Main St. This becomes Collinsville Rd. VDP parking lot is on right
Rose called me and will be showing up at the regular Brickyard parking lot at 6:45 AM. She wants to run up to 10 miles. So this is another option for people who want to run shorter and who want to run a bit later.
