And then you, as you live there, will have it memorized a few times after that.<br /><br />Bob's Road is a bit before the 7.8 sign ... a bit uphill from it in a way as you head up the trail. There is an aide station there on both BTMR and PPA/M races.<br /><br />Read up on this ...http://www.skyrunner.com/ppcourse.htm<br /><br />I think from the Cog to Barr Camp is 6.2. If you started at the base of Ruxton and then went up, then you started about .8 ahead of the cog start (ish). So you went about a mile shy of Barr Camp.<br /><br />Still pretty damn good.GZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623054918799881730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164157095835512721.post-23439285337303205422011-06-14T12:06:32.731-05:002011-06-14T12:06:32.731-05:00Good question.

I have not really been running this trail until the last few weeks. That will change though. My best guess would be near Bob's Road but I don't even know where that is.Brad Poppelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986634254230026785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164157095835512721.post-17084948429240051062011-06-14T11:38:48.894-05:002011-06-14T11:38:48.894-05:00so where was that on the trail?so where was that on the trail?GZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623054918799881730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164157095835512721.post-26010165206974242112011-06-14T11:37:50.414-05:002011-06-14T11:37:50.414-05:00I didn't go all the way to Barr Camp.

I just hope to be somewhat close to you at the finish.Brad Poppelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986634254230026785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164157095835512721.post-4774422773935768042011-06-14T11:34:08.741-05:002011-06-14T11:34:08.741-05:00That is an excellent time.

That would be very solid.GZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623054918799881730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164157095835512721.post-13221268615537277162011-06-14T11:26:40.160-05:002011-06-14T11:26:40.160-05:00GZ, I started at the bottom of Ruxton since it'...GZ, I started at the bottom of Ruxton since it's so hard to find parking up by the cog. So that's a pretty good time? Good to hear I thought it was okay at best.Brad Poppelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986634254230026785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164157095835512721.post-71576022608947411202011-06-13T20:42:29.574-05:002011-06-13T20:42:29.574-05:00Solid.
