Nordic Trail
Feb. 21st, 2010 09:05 pmI drove to the Nordic Trail in the Kettle Moraine State Forest Southern Unit on Saturday. 14.7km in 2:05. Note to self: If bonking along without energy thinking, 'well, only 3 or 4 km left, is it really worth pausing to eat something?' answer is, yes! Eat! One pack of Clif Bloks and suddenly I was motoring along like before. Probably that seemed like a hard question due to lack of glucose causing the brain to no longer work right. I tend to ski Lapham Peak a lot, it's easy for me to get to and it's a really good place to ski, plus the lighted loop is good for weekday skiing after work. I always want to try to go other places a bit just for variety. Overall the Nordic Trail isn't the most exciting skiing (really no good long fast descents) but there are lots of places up high with really lovely views of the surrounding countryside.
