I did the Bair Canyon out and back from my house. It's just under 6 miles to get there the way I went out, but I didn't have the time or energy to come back the same way so the total ended up just under 11 miles. Fairly slow, 13:34 per mile, but the elevation gain on this run is almost 2800 feet. I think this route is much harder than flag rock. With Flag Rock only half of it involves climbing, the other half is a fun downhill. With this, there is always something that still needs to be climbed. I think in the run up to summer, and as a base building exercise, I will try to run this a couple times a week. eventually I plan on making it part of a 20+ mile route. For now, 10 miles will have to do. |
