I remember trying to pass on the single track and almost taking out a tree (or taking out myself). Fun!!<br /><br />Which Northfield was it where there was a whole train of runners and Ben let some people go and then never was reciprocated when he asked to pass. Only at Northfield's climb!!

The top-20 had two former or future national champions (Dunham and Robertson), seven former or future national mountain guys (including Petey), some of New England's best trail runners, and Rick Bolt on fire. In terms of competitive SS races that I have run, this ranks only behind 3 nationals and North Americans.<br /><br />Richard Bolt<br />Paul Low<br />Ethan Hemphill<br />Junior Pullins<br />Leigh Schmitt<br />Ben Nephew<br />Ian Lanza<br />Gregory Hammett<br />Aaron Robertson<br />Matt Cartier<br />Elijah Barrett<br />Dan Verrington<br />Ryan Pauling<br />James Pawlicki<br />Kevin Tilton<br />Dave Dunham<br />Steve Peterson<br />Gregory Ward<br />David Loutzenheiser<br />Jim SchultzpLowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260609683816365810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950697616886903751.post-70917546428458713842010-02-04T20:13:50.687-05:002010-02-04T20:13:50.687-05:00I'd say the Bolton course was one of the best ...I'd say the Bolton course was one of the best all-around snowshoe course ever.
