Route for 3rd Day

The 3rd day of the Transversal (Monday, June 8th) will involve 70 miles of rollerskiing on the Munger Trail. This state trail runs from Duluth, MN to Hinckley, MN and is paved the entire way. A map can be found at this site:

General information on the Munger Trail can be found here:

My "game plan" will be to ski in 3 hour installments, with a 15 minute break after each segment. A longer break will be taken for lunch after the second 3 hour segment. I don't anticipate the trail taking longer than three 3-hour segments (9 hours total), although the presence of a strong head or tailwind could change that estimate drastically. Either way, I am preparing for a long day on the trail.
