Wicked day with Bit, Simpy, Funderstorm and Mrs.Tiny in the Big Chute area. I was happy to get some time in last years WT course since I missed out.

One good spill for me into the water, one of those ones where I knew I was going down...

My poor bike sat in the car overnight and continues to sit in the garage covered in mud. Hmmmm maybe the bike fairy will come for a visit today!

Thanks Simpy and BiT, for organizing a fantastic day and Funderstorm and Mrs. Tiny for making the drive. Although I did have the shorter drive home, I had no opportunity for MB. I had to settle for a bag of Ruffles from Shell.

thank god for my awesome bug net.

I think I love paddling again.

Simpy was obviously pissed about something I did because during one of the portages he decided to ram the boat into my thigh giving me the worse Charlie Horse of my life. I have the contusion to prove it, too.
