Training Log Archive: Bash

Sunny ride on the Georgian Trail with Mrs. Tiny before Funderstorm arrived.

Muggy run around Blue Mountain and surrounding ski areas in lieu of watching the royal wedding. Amber, Dee, Mrs. Gally, Nicole, Shannon M. and I were together for the first part of the run. Amber and I both have mountain races coming up so we stayed out awhile longer. So glad for the good company! We were aiming for 3 hours but apparently we're over-achievers.

Timato: He's kind of a big deal.

Photos from tonight's K-W Athlete of the Year banquet.

Blah. That is all.

First technical ride of the year! The trails took longer than usual to dry out then I injured my neck and couldn't ride. It was worth the wait.







I did most of the single track in Palgrave East and some of the double track too. Conditions are excellent except for a few muddy sections on the multi-use double track. I didn't see any poison ivy in leaf but it's almost that time.

I ran into Wayne, my former bike mechanic who still rides his mountain bike fast in his 70s. There were 20+ hikers and bikers on the trails on a week day, and I had to make a couple of last-minute swerves when other bikers were approaching head-on at high speed. Palgrave East has become popular enough that I don't think it will be safe for the dogs to come riding with us anymore.



There were a few trees down from the wind storm but all the designated MTB single track had been cleared. These photos were taken in the stretch from 15-16 km.







Clouds were amazing at my neighbour's lookout, known as Thinker's Hill.
