#95: Arkansas training routes…
This weekend, I am planning to do some climbing in Arkansas. The routes I am working are based on the old Tri-Peaks race routes (NRC race up until last year).
The first plan is to climb Mt. Magazine strating from Paris, Arkansas. The race route looks like this:
A nasty, nasty alternative would be to go up and over to Havana and then go back over the mountain again to Paris. Both routes are ~70 miles, but the second is twice as much climbing…
Out of Dardenelle, there is the Petit Jean loop (also from Tri-Peaks race courses). The route is already long at 70 miles and I left out Mt. Nebo.
I say start with the steep side of Mt Magazine and go out & back. It will be a little bit like Hell, but slightly more fun.
