Mt. Greylock

It's 10.5 miles from here:

We only go to the summit 3-4 times a year, sometimes less.  You can bike up like I did on Tuesday night- door to door, it takes about 1 hour 20 minutes to go up and 30 to return.  Sometimes we run  up, which is an 8 mile run taking 75 minutes or so.  We also drive up- we've got a great Labor Day weekend tradition of having dinner at Bascom Lodge

The views, landscape and weather extremes make you feel like you're in another part of the world.  Each time I'm there I wonder why it's taken so long to return.  That's going to change over the coming months as Mt. Greylock becomes another of the training partners we visit regularly along the way.
