Did about 4,000 vertical feet double poling and skating without poles. Can’t wait to do it again next week./divdivBurch Hill is a short Rd between Canadice lake Rd and County Rd 37 it has a change in elevation of just over 400ft in 0.81 miles with the first 0.5 being quite challenging and the last 0.3 being 3-7% grade. It is just short enough that one can ski down it in about 4 minutes. the kicker is that the last half mile of the descent is over 12% into a stop sign that T’s into a road parallel to Canadice lake./divdivOne would most certainly have a memorable experience if they were not equipped with V2 Aero 15o’s complete with speed reducers and brakes. It is quite a disconcerting view when you are descending towards Canadice Lake, luckily the speed reducers and brakes worked well time after time./div/spandiv class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6647112093689702615-558369238163437185?l=www.jackedupoldman.com’ alt=” //div
