Cool morning run with the big boy after yeserday’s run got aborted.

9 AM

Paddlng (SUP) 1:00:00 [1]

SUP and pup with Bash at the quarry.
I took the big guy. He hopped off early on, but other than that he did fine. Some times sitting up alertly, some time lying down, and at one point was determined to go over to Bash and AD’s board, but we stayed dry.

We both went in for a bit of a swim after, but hard to do holding the leash.
Next time I’ll try waist strap to leash.

C • This makes me smile!!!! 1

3 PM

Cycling 1:56:00 [3]

Good tour around Albion. Still on the old bike.

I have to say, despite being heavier and less well mannered on fast open trails, it handles technical and twisty trails better than the carbon one.
I made it over almost all of the awkward roots that stymied me on the Kodiak.
I also was able to climb everything in the middle ring, which is now 13-40. (3x9)

I have a 1x 11-51 drivetrain on order which should be fine for this bike.

C • Kodiak handling 5

11 AM

Cycling 2:15:00 [3] 24.83 km (11.0 kph) +300m

Dufferin Forest with Bash. Had a great tour and saw very few other riders, mainly 1 group we ran into a few times. Trailforks was misbehaving so we had issues finding all the singletrack, but there are lots of cool horse trails etc, and more to explore. Weather sent us looking for a more direct route back from the SE. Next time- paper map and magnetic compass too.

The trails are more overgrown than our home routes, and there are lots of log-overs. Huge tracts of oak forest are eerily early-spring like as there is barely any foliage, but enough fluttering Gypsy Moths that you have to watch not to inhale one.

Strength 20:00 [2]

Finished workout 1.

12 PM

Running 54:56 [3] 6.7 km (8:12 / km) +121m 7:31 / km
shoes: Topo Ultraventure Blue

Run out to Palgrave East and the new little singletrack section. Also checked out an old trail that is still not reopened. Then I heard a boom of thunder and headed back in torrential rain.

Friday Jul 10, 2020 #

Running 20:00 [1]
shoes: Topo Terraventure

Easy hike jog with the dogs early in the morning, but once again FDFs and heat had me shut it down short.

Strength 40:00 [3]

Partial workout 1. Off to spend the rest of the day sorting out IT problems.

Wednesday Jul 8, 2020 #

Running 20:00 [2]
shoes: Topo Terraventure

Hosed down the dogs for an easy run. Already warm and humid at 8AM, and the deerflies were bad (not RockstAR bad) so cut it short.

Strength 1:00:00 [2]

Workout 3 in the nice cool basement. Weak- been skipping these workouts.

Cycling 45:00 [3]

Commute+ on another steamer.
New Singletrack Day! Found a brand new section connecting 2 existing bits North of the pond. Wonder who's building them?

C • Looking forward to seeing your GPS track! 2

Cycling 20:00 [3]

Night ride home- just before dark.

Tuesday Jul 7, 2020 #

Commute plus the Covid Crusher.

Monday Jul 6, 2020 #

Cycling 45:00 [3]

Commute on a steamy day. Back via the Covid Crusher singletrack. Old bike rode it fine.

Sunday Jul 5, 2020 #

11 AM

Cycling 2:19:35 [3] 21.93 km (9.4 kph) +375m

Kolapore with Bash. Pics on Bash’s log.
We started at County Forest, up John’s Portage, over the rocks under Red Death to the UTOC cabin, then back up the long Wild Mouse climb and Kingsway.

Just a fantastic outing in jaw-dropping forest. No purpose-built features or twists, but enough natural rocks etc to keep it interesting. Must Ride Here More.

Note- the old Best Bike Works steed needs a new front fork. This one clanks on bumps. And a new drivetrain and enduro rear tire wouldn’t hurt.

Saturday Jul 4, 2020 #

Swimming 5:00 [3]

Short swim in Georgian Bay. Would have been longer but the dogs actually needed coaxing. Too busy at Princeton Shores to throw sticks.

We came back later with our canoe, but it was packed and we turned around.

8 AM

Running 1:52:33 [3] 13.72 km (8:12 / km) +405m 7:09 / km

Run with Tarno and Milla at Pretty River. I ran well out front because Covid.
So great to be out. Not quite as unfit and sluggish as I feared.

Friday Jul 3, 2020 #

12 PM

Cycling 1:56:46 [3] 18.12 km (9.3 kph) +204m

Out with Bash to 3 stages from the NW, then back through Castle Glen past the lake out nearly to the base of Scenic Caves.
Great area for bikesploring.
We were looking at a house that backs on to all this, but it got scooped. But we’re ok with it.

Thursday Jul 2, 2020 #

Paddlng 1:08:00 [3]

Collingwood harbour with Tarno and Milla in our canoe, while Bash and I used kayaks. A bit surfy outside the barriers. Great to get out on a steaming day.

Hiking 1:20:00 [1]

Hiking Pretty River with Tarno, Bash, Adventuredog and Koko. Shady, with
lots of swims for the pooches, but too hot for the big guy.

Good pics on Bash’s log.

9 AM

Running 1:07:07 [3] 7.49 km (8:58 / km)

Wednesday Jul 1, 2020 #

Cycling 30:00 [3]

Took the dogs for a cool morning ride.
Also tested out the older recumbent, as the carbon one’s kaput until I do some composite repair.
It handles differently but is more comfy and rides well.

4 PM

Paddlng 1:01:03 [3] 6.27 km (6.2 kph) +4m

Surf ski on Georgian Bay with Bash. We headed West from Long Point road to Craigleith.
