ACROSS lexington alphabet jaunt
Hey everyone. I’m once again back to rave about the ACROSS Lexington trails (see https://www.lexingtonma.gov/DocumentCenter/View/4664/2022-ACROSS-Lexington-Map-PDF-includes-Route-P-?bidId=) and to propose a fun group activity. You might notice in small text on the right side of the map that one can get a certificate for completing all the loops A-P (but there’s no I or O so there’s two fewer than you might expect). We too can receive this certificate and get our names on the elite list at xlexcollect.org. And I think we can do it in one day. Its 46.8 miles total so it won’t be a run but definitely more of a jaunt but it’s definitely doable and I envision it taking around 12 hours. I know that it’s fall marathon season so it’s really important to stay healthy and take care of the legs and not overdo it on the mileage so I really want to stress that this is a jaunt and so it does not count towards that weekly mileage. Anyway, I’ll draw up the route on Strava and add it here but I want to get this on people’s calendar and probe the room for an appropriate date. I’m currently thinking saturday october 14th will be the best angle which still has over 11 hours of legit daylight, is not a major marathon weekend, and should feature awesome foliage. Looking for thoughts opinions questions and interest. No need to worry about transportation as I have a plan. Leaving early will definitely be an option if you have saturday business to attend.
