Had a wonderful time on the new trail even with the hazy valley below. The incoming rain front was just crawling over Rattlesnake and then evaporating. It was an impressive transition into Fall. I only made it to the major switchback after the Mt Washinton trail junctions, and frustrations with a failing dropper and time constraint helped me turn around for home. The ride was enjoyable and I'll be back to make it an epic next time. Great trail folks. It's like Tiger's Masterlink going up and Preston going down. Too bad the terrain doesn't allow more banked cornering to keep the speed up. Track and hazy pics here.
