Another 31 miles of rolling the Albany-Hudson #ElectricTrail on Tuesday, this time from N. Chatham up to Hampton Manor and back, with a stop at the East Greenbush Dunkin' because I was craving a chocolate glazed donut.

Very pleased to discover that a couple of on-road segments, most particularly Southern Ave in Hampton Manor, had been re-surfaced since I last rolled this way about two years ago.

Skated 45 miles on Monday, rolling the Albany-Hudson #ElectricTrail from North Chatham to Hudson and back. Something like 3/4 of the route is rail-trail, and it was fantastic except for the 4 spots each about 50 yards long that are still surfaced with compacted stone dust. Tracks cross the dust indicate I an not the only skater to use the trial.

Posted up another 50km skate on the Albany-Hudson Electric Trail Saturday afternoon, mostly just doing laps on the 2.5-mile "flats" south of Nassau. Nowhere near as brutal as Thursday's skate, but the last 2-3 miles were pretty tough. I need to get back into shape. #InlineSkating, #AHET, #EmpireStateTrail

Skated 32 miles (16 miles out and back), almost all on the Albany-Hudson Electric Trail, on Thanksgiving and it was the most brutal skate I can recall ever experiencing. I am so out of shape that I was bonking at about mile 25 and my quads were dieing. Only survived because there was an almost flat stretch of 5 miles near the end. Had to take my skates off and walk the last quarter mile up a hill to where I'm staying for the holiday. #InlineSkating, #AHET, #EmpireStateTrail
