Description

The right way to ride Hole in the Ground (HitG) is to add Donner Rim trail (DRT) to it, for 2×5 quality bonus miles. Congrats to the trail builders and volunteers, they really made something great out of the DRT.

For this ride I loaded Rokoko’s track and followed it with my Edge 750 (works very well btw). I did some exploring last year but now the loop with HitG is finally closed. We still have some work cut out, as there are interesting trail and offshoots to places like Warren Lake, Mossy Pond etc. So much to do, so little time!

Didn’t want that awesome, super-fun, super-chunky HitG goodness to end. And Lola Montez lake (very purrty and clear) made for a refreshing swim.

    Cool! I should save this track because I really want to ride HitG soon. Hope we get to go up there before it’s too late this year.
