Biked out to the Ottawa Orienteering event in Kanata at March Highlands. Nice temps in the morning.

Did the long advanced course. Had a great time in the south march highlands forest but it was hot! Any steps into marshy water was cool and refreshing. Saw a deer close up at the furthermost point in the map - it was about 15 feet from me and did not move except to track me.

Most of the "regular" good guys were at West Point this week...so I'm hoping for a good placing...default!

Bike back home, and now tired.

Some warm up along the Ottawa River on the Quebec side followed by a loop up Mount Gatineau with 2 co-workers who I met a the entrance of the park. They were on road bikes so they kept me on my toes. I kept pace with them on the climb up, but was tougher to keep with them on the way back down some of the hills. Great afternoon out as the Gatineau roads were still closed to car traffic and the temps were in mid-twenties with lots of sun. Very peaceful at the top lookout.

C • Nicely done! 3

Daytime run along the Canal. Tulips are about to bloom.

Talk in the office today of cycling, so I got the itch to take my bike out after work and hit the Gatineau Roads which are still closed to car traffic. Temps were just perfect and legs felt great. Tones of other cyclists out as well, I love how this city embraces cycling.

C • Great ride! 2
