This is what I sent Scott. ----------------------------------- I have done the double (assuming we mean the same thing) 2 times already this year. I talk a buddy of mine into joining me the first time up which keeps my pace slower than normal then I usually solo the second time. What I have been doing is going up the Castle trail up to the upper lot then jump on Parmalee go around and also do Devil's Elbow and come back down Turkey Trot (like coming down this way so I don't have to worry about bikes behind me), this came out to a 12 mile loop. Refuel at the car then go back up Castle to the upper lot and come back down Turkey Trot again. This run gave me 20.25 miles and about 6300ft of climbing (did it 2 weeks ago). Going at an easy pace this took me about 4 hours. I want to get to the point where I am doing the 1st loop twice, if I did that it would be 24 miles and over 7000ft of climbing. I am getting to that point slowly and thinking of doing it this weekend depending on weather and what snow blows in. If I do I expect to be out there about 4.5 hours or so. I don't know how that pace fits in with your pace but I always enjoy the company.
Hopefully there will not be to much snow in this storm that they are calling for. ----------------------------------
Here is where you can find the trailmap for the area we are talking about. http://www.co.jefferson.co.us/jeffco/openspace_uploads/mtfalcmp.pdf
You can also find maps and trail profiles if you google Jeffco Open Space and go to that website.
Let me know if you ever want to set up a long run, more than willing assuming that it works out with the family time. Going to drive down there one of these weekends for a CRUD run. I was going to last Saturday but ended up moving into the new house and actually missed one of my runs. Oh well, moving was a workout in itself.
Wow, I would definitely come up for the 24 mile version, maybe even add a few more to hit 30. Keep me posted on when you do this. Sundays would be best for me. Don't really care about pace, though if Scott showed up I'm not sure I could run slow enough to avoid dropping him.
