BRC Run – 5/20 – 6:45AM – LTdBRC Leg 4 – Salem Triple – 13 Miles
Penultimate Leg of the Ultimate Border Collection
Who’s with me on this? Who thought penultimate meant something bigger and cooler the first time you heard it? I get that second-to-last has a very negative overtone and could uses some spicing up, but I think old Daniel Webster might have overcorrected a smidge. Now you know what goes on inside my head every time I hear that word. Sorry for that diversion. Onto the borders shall we?
We have a great collection of three borders, another state, some interesting geography, and two historic municipalities to visit before we are done tomorrow. Parked cars will be lining the streets as we make our way north and then south again. There is a feed zone at the turn-around of this modified out-and-back. I say modified because many of you reading this, and you know who you are, have tried to adjust the mileage on this route to your own liking. Good luck to anyone attempting that maneuver tomorrow.

Ideal Conditions
Usually that term means something different for this trek as we prefer to run this in adverse weather. Enjoy these temps while you can and enjoy this trip while you’re doing that.
