Hillside Wrestling Weekend XII was held July 20-24, 2005. It was the twelfth annual wrestling weekend and my tenth; it was cool looking back at ten years of wrestling at Hillside. The weather was perfect for night and day matches. Turnout was a bit lower than last year but was still conducive to plenty of mat time. There were a lot of new guys for whom this was their first time experiencing Hillside, as well as veterans of the 1994 and later wrestling weekends.

The Ride (LI, NJ, upstate NY & PA) | At Hillside: Wrestling and other photos from Hillside Campground
Last year, I detoured on the way to Hillside to get in some higher mountains. This time, I took the usual direct route except for a small detour in Pennsylvania that was at a higher altitude according to the map, but when actually riding it, it did not seem that high, and though scenic, elicited a "that's all?" reaction. So on the way back I detoured into central NY and then over some 3000+ foot peaks in the Catskills (vs. the 2000+ foot peaks around Hillside). Went further north than last year. The gradients were usually not as steep, leading to long ascents and descents through forested valleys, en route to and from the mountain passes. Total mileage 489.0 (786.9 km).
Used the same Olympus C-750UZ camera as last year; the infrared pictures were taken with a Hoya R72 filter (filters 100% <700nm, 50% at 720nm, transparent above about 750 nm).
