Bekkie & Joe - Day 1 & 2

Since we're the resident Connecticut Trekkers we took advantage of the fact that Day 1 & Day 2 ran right past our doorstep and jumped in for the last 20 miles of Day 1, and the first 13 of Day 2. Joe & I split the 20, and ran 10 each. I ran the first 10 from Bolton Notch to the Founders Bridge via Rt. 44, Middle Turnpike, Burnside Avenue, Connecticut Blvd, and East River Dr. Joe picked it up from there and ran up to Main, and over Albany Avenue (Rt. 44) to Avon Mountain. Something like 1000 ft of elevation gain from downtown to the top of the mountain just past Res #6. ... Got up bright & early the next morning for a solo Trek from Farmington (right at Joe's "Office on Main") to the Intersection of Rt. 8 in Thompsonville. It was cold and drizzly, and it almost snowed at the top of the hill near St. Joseph's Cemetary. But there was a Dunkin' Donuts at the end, and we had a nice hot cup of coffee and a bagel at the end. We drove down to Newark that night, and have been "on the road" with TEAM POL ever since.
