Cycling 1:00:00 [3]
Ride to work via singletrack. First clean ride home- it’s firm enough to make it up the steep hills in the last km that was soft snow.
Monday Jan 18, 2021 #
Strength 40:00 [2]
Workout 2 light and some core and rehab.
Sunday Jan 17, 2021 #

A few more huge loads of logs, and the storage is full again.
9 AM
Cycling 1:32:35 [3] 14.95 km (9.7 kph) +275m
Morning tour de Palgrave. I got out before the crust on our side of Palgrave started to soften, and it was all rideable. Palgrave East is all ice, but rode well with studs. I skipped some of the toughest bits given the ice. Just starting to slush up as I got home.
Saturday Jan 16, 2021 #
Strength (Lumberjack ) 1:30:00 [2]
We’ve burned through another section, so I hauled out 3 loads of huge awkward logs, and split and stacked them.
Snowshoeing 1:10:00
I let the dogs navigate, and they took me through thick bush where the deer sleep, and across to Palgrave East, where trails are now glacial.
Friday Jan 15, 2021 #

shoes: La Sportiva Blizzard
Palgrave East with the big guy- getting slushy out.
Thursday Jan 14, 2021 #
Cycling 1:02:00 [3]
Good riding to work but slushy ride home - back to shoving the bike uphill as the wheel just spun.
Wednesday Jan 13, 2021 #
Snowshoeing 40:00 [3]
Snowshoe run with the dogs on the Covid crusher then around Palgrave West.
Cycling 1:10:00 [3]
Fully rideable to work now! Did a clean ride of some extra singletrack back, which is in great shape unless you veer off the packed track.
Tuesday Jan 12, 2021 #
Cycling 1:02:00 [3]
A bit more rideable today.
Monday Jan 11, 2021 #
Cycling 1:10:00 [3]
Lower tire pressure and more tracks let me churn through some of the first km and last section with a bit less shove-a-bike. The singletrack and doubletrack in Palgrave East rides like pavement.
Sunday Jan 10, 2021 #
XC Skiing 1:08:00 [2]
Ski from ABC2. Kolapore trails that were hiked and snowshoed on are glazed hardpack with no tracks. Came back via NWP-Bruce, and skiing the fields was much better.
Hope we can come back, depending on lockdown rules.

XC ski-Skate 53:50 [4] 13.7 km (15.3 kph) +247m
Loop at Highlands. Gorgeous day.
Felt a bit slow at first but the snow seemed a little faster up top.
I was surprised when I downloaded- faster than it seemed.

Cycling 1:20:00 [3]
After yesterday's hard crusty ski, I tried the bike.
Ugh, the first km that seemed to be stomped by snowshoe was pretty much un-rideable on 3" studded tires. I had to get off and push, and had to bushwhack a shortcut as I would have been late otherwise.
I guess my neighbour's trail needs to be packed down more for riding.
Once I got on the main trails it was great riding. I feel like I need to ski the first km and ride the rest. Going to be more shove-a-bike home.
I was able to ride a bit more on the last section before home, but it’s still fairly deep loose snow under a slightly firmer layer. Maybe 5” tires would float, but mine dig in and it’s shove-a-bike.

Flat hardpack for the night ski home. Maybe I’ll bike tomorrow.

Adventures with Bob (Miller)
Bob drove to our place with the kids and we snowshoed while Shannon ran from their place.
Bob wanted to see if we could ski from our place to his. Good adventure skiing, A mix of fast ski trails, closed snowmobile trails and breaking trail through field and forest, as well as some road shoulders.
Thanks to Shannon for driving the kids home and for Bash for coming to get me,
