Thanks to my engineering class reunion last night, a pile of Wilderness Traverse work, and a BazingaDog chase around the yard with a headlamp at 5:30 a.m., I felt blah this morning. But it was a gorgeous day and I wanted to breathe cool air in the forest so I took my bike for a quick tour of Palgrave East single track.
So glad I did! For the first time in weeks, I felt like pushing hard. I rode about as fast as I ever have through the twisty, rooty single track and it was a blast! These trails aren't maintained frequently so I had to be alert for damage from Friday's storm - the one that passed through here and eventually caused tornadoes around Ottawa. This was on our neighbour's trail; I didn't run into any trees across the public trails.
