Fun Kolapore ride with ‘Bent, Goose and Coach LD on a steaming hot day. The rocks and roots were wet so it was a test of balance but no one went down. My chain came off early on and it took me a while to figure out that the subsequent gear problems were caused by a loose thru-axle - again! We went up Mount Dhaulagiri, rode the new trail under construction and used gravel road to connect trail sections. Then we came back to the chalet for lunch on the deck. The Doughtys brought fresh corn on the cob - yum!

I was so fatigued today that I wondered about Covid but I think my body was just reacting to a bunch of very heavy portages and a few poor sleeps.

SUP paddle around Collingwood Harbour and beyond on a calm-as-glass morning while 'Bent and Tarno practised paddling our H2O Slingshot for Storm The Trent. After its rudder hit bottom a few times, I had to walk my SUP across the shallow, washed-out section of the old Hens and Chickens trail.

Test paddling the spiffy new Grant/Harrison canoe.

Sunbeam Lake to Canoe Lake on a *very* windy day. Need to split out portage times.
Elapsed time 6:09.

'Bent and I checked out the creek south of Vanishing Pond to see if our group could save some portaging tomorrow. Nope - the water level was much too low. Then we paddled around Sunbeam Lake on our way back.

Need to split out portage time.
Elapsed 8:21.
