Pete and Caroline are in town passing through on the way to the coast. We took them for a short run on the Toaster trails and then up to the ski jump.

Flowdown with Courtney. Enjoyable ride at a cruisey pace.

Columbia River paddle from the boat launch. A bit more current today - headed downstream and then up the Tum Tum. Made it almost to the highway before things got a little narrow. The up the channel which was a good workout with the current.

Eva Lake with Courtney. The parks crew was just clearing the deadfall today which was fortunate. Still a number of (small) snow patches to cross. Ran at easy pace but felt quite tired afterwards. Still not used to runs longer than a couple hours for perhaps I didn't eat enough afterwards.

Only the second mountain bike ride of the season for me - went to MacPherson with Jeff. My tires felt large and squishy. Also felt like things were harder than they should be.. perhaps I was tired from the run this morning. It didn't help that Jeff was always right behind me and if I was behind him he would slowly pull away;) We went up Flowdown and down Dusty Beaver/Tantrum. Technical stuff seemed to go OK but could tell it was one of the first technical rides of the year.

MacPherson with Courtney - ran some of the new trails and then upper Berm Donor and Dusty Beaver. Tempo for most of the run - felt OK though running fast downhill seemed challenging. Sunny and warm but adequately cool in the trees.

SUP on the Columbia... water is very high and the usual calm Sunday morning conditions (minimal water release from the dam upstream). Took my new board out for the first time (bought it last year though). Feels tippy... though secondary stability if pretty good. Water is very cold so I don't really want to swim. No issues when moving though. Cuts through the water nicely and accelerates easily. Went a ways upstream and then back via the side channel. A few sections at higher tempo.
