Bolton Fall 50 - Coach LD's annual birthday celebration!

We couldn't have asked for a more spectacular autumn day. The forests are still full of yellow maples and the sun shone all day. We started by biking from the Huets' place in Caledon East to BGY's place. Most of this was on Centreville Creek Road, which has lots of hills. It didn't take long for me to feel last weekend's 100K in my legs!

Mrs. BGY spoiled us with fresh, homemade wontons with different fillings. I'd only been biking for 42 minutes and didn't deserve a treat yet but that sure didn't stop me! Then the BGYs led us on a hike around the trails on the beautiful block of land they share with their neighbours.

The group rode past our place on the way to Crash's house, where homemade date squares were served. By that time, our sick dogs had been alone too long so I dropped off while the others continued to Albion Hills for some mountain bike orienteering.

We finished the day with a potluck birthday feast at the Huets, topped off by cake with candles, ice cream and apple crisp.

Happy Birthday, Coach LD! :)

22 Push-up Challenge, Day 2

Rodney Yee's Power Yoga for Flexibility - I can still feel last weekend in my muscles and joints.

22 Push-up Challenge, Day 1 - in honour of Veterans with PTSD who commit suicide. I'm not nominating other people; I think most people with any interest have done this by now. I am making a donation to the Wounded Warriors Service Dog program instead.

First time trying aerial yoga, which Caron offers at her new fitness studio. Apparently, it's the only place that offers aerial yoga between Toronto and Barrie. It's so different! I thought I was picking it up quickly when we used the hammocks to enhance regular yoga poses and stretches but then we got into the upside down moves and I got all uncoordinated! I'm sure it will improve with practice although 'Bent aced that stuff from the beginning - unlike the easier poses. ;)
