Message:	[quote author=Nick Clark board=west thread=64 post=67 time=1258502350]The trailhead for Round is 7 or 8 miles (maybe more) west of Loveland on Hwy 34. Two or 3 miles west of the Big Thompson Narrows, there is a pull-off to the left. This leads to the parking lot for Round.

I've heard that Pablo Vigil used to train on Round, so I would be surprised if the all-time record isn't under 50 minutes. I've also run the up and down in 1:34:25 (57:10 up 37:15 down).

Tim Waggoner (Lucho) resets Round FKT at a TT gathering 5-31-10. New mark (47:58) is now pretty stout: http://irunmountains.blogspot.com/2010/05/round-mountain-spring-time-trial.html
