XC Skiing 1:05:00 [3]

Commute plus a little. Palgrave East really needs more snow- it’s hard packed and getting dirty.
C • More snow soon 3

10 AM

XC Skiing 2:59:42 [3] 21.55 km (7.2 kph) +375m

Big loop at Kolapore.
I tried my old CSM skis, which felt a lot faster than my touring setup.
Conditions were good too, and I even picked up a handful of Strava crowns.
Hope it’s like this for the virtual CSM gold, versus last week’s NWP slog.

Hiking 1:00:00 [1]

Multi-pooch hike with the full Ford clan. Some packed trail, some deep post-holing. We let the big guy off leash in the snowy sections and he was fine.
The Ford kids are hard core.

Snowshoeing 1:04:00 [1]

Robbie Burns night snowshoe with the Doughtys and G-stix at Castle glen. Pics on Bash’s log for the curious.
11 AM

XC Skiing 1:23:40 [3] 8.1 km (5.8 kph) +196m

Pretty River with Bash.
Not great ski tracks but unbeatable views and scenery.



A bit of fast heavy snowmobile traffic near the end.

Snowshoeing 20:00 [1]

Took the dogs out- big guy was good off leash. We’re breaking a trail beside our ski tracks, at least on our property.
8 AM

XC Skiing 31:51 intensity: (1:09 @0) + (5:18 @1) + (13:02 @2) + (12:22 @3)

3 PM

XC Skiing 1:28:07 [3] 9.96 km (6.8 kph) +212m

Kolapore-paradise hwy with Bash.
The heavy metal-edged skis and backcountry boots were going well with good grip and reasonable glide, so I pushed the pace a bit on the rock garden and climb up to the metcalfe turn-off.
Peak winter!

Thursday Jan 27, 2022 #

XC Skiing 1:02:00 [3]

Another good commute.

Wednesday Jan 26, 2022 #

Running 30:00 [3]
shoes: La Sportiva Blizzard

Lumpy uneven run with the big guy. Should have used snowshoes.
Brilliant bluebird day, but after having my eyes dilated by the specialist the sun was hard on them even with my darkest shades. Still so worth it.

XC Skiing (Commute) 1:05:00 [3]

Skiing still excellent in Palgrave West- tracks are great. East has such heavy traffic now it’s always trampled flat and hard, but still skiable.

11 AM

XC Skiing 2:45:00 [3] 15.43 km (5.6 kph) +421m

North West Passage with Bash. Skied the fields home.
Lots of deep fresh powder, especially on the fields near home. Got some more footage too. No epic crashes.

Saturday Jan 22, 2022 #

10 AM

XC Skiing 3:40:02 [3] 21.28 km (5.8 kph) +441m

Big main loop of Kolapore. Excellent conditions, and we played around with the Gopro a bit more for a video I’m working on.




Needed a second run…
















C • The second run… 2

XC Skiing 15:00 [2]

Quick night ski over to our neighbours to trade some Shannonballs for a fresh baked Challah.
9 AM

XC Skiing 1:58:46 [3] 10.55 km (5.3 kph) +145m

Castle Glen with the ladies. Found some trails where someone towed a DIY groomer behind a sled.
2 PM

Snowshoeing 40:00 [2]

Pounding down deep snow for the dogs. They wisely let us break trail.

Thursday Jan 20, 2022 #

2 PM

XC Skiing 1:20:54 [3] 8.2 km (6.1 kph) +127m

Yay, Southern Crossing and Quiet Pastures are frozen enough to ski.
Some hard trail breaking in the open sections, and some fooling around with the Gopro (a pain in frigid temps) meant we had to ski the road back rather than completing the Southern trail loop.

Wednesday Jan 19, 2022 #

Snowshoeing 1:00:00 intensity: (30:00 @2) + (20:00 @3) + (10:00 @4)

Palgrave West and East with the boys. Working hard to keep up at first, steady run in the middle and easy trot at the end.

Strength 15:00 [2]

More shovelling.

Tuesday Jan 18, 2022 #

XC Skiing 37:00 [3]

Some of my tracks from yesterday are blown back in, so still hard work.
In town the sidewalks are a big diagonal pile of snow from the road plow- alternated skiing on top and jogging through knee-deep compressed snow.

XC Skiing 30:00 [3]

Quicker ski back in Bash’s tracks. Palgrave East has gotten a bit stomped already, but Palgrave West is perfect now. The TRCA plowed the main trail that follows a road allowance right down to the grass, for skidding logs out, so no skiing there.

Strength 15:00 [2]

30 min shovelling.

Monday Jan 17, 2022 #

XC Skiing 1:20:00 [3]

Woo hoo, breaking trail in shin-deep snow. Did a bit extra home, and skied from sunset to dark.
















Sunday Jan 16, 2022 #

Snowshoeing 20:00 [1]

Stomp with the dogs.
11 AM

XC Skiing 3:01:15 [3] 15.06 km (5.0 kph) +360m

Another great ski out the door with Bash. Warmer, brilliant sunshine and no wind. Trails were slick- lots of glide and less grip. Also less cover on the rocks.

We found the other end of the flagged route for the 3rd Wild Mouse trail (house mouse?) and managed to bushwhack through it.
Wonderful snack stop atop Dhaulagiri, and back via Jackrabbit, Metcalfe and the field route.

Saturday Jan 15, 2022 #

10 AM

XC Skiing 2:20:00 [3] 15.27 km (6.5 kph) +417m

3hrs 15 min total. Autopause missed some- time to turn it off.
Amazing bluebird day. Chilly -19 but no wind, and enough fresh snow for good skiing, with the odd rock not covered yet. Spectacular skiing, right out the door.

Bash and I followed the flags for a future Wild Mouse trail, but it ended in a thick bushwhack which made for Snowgaine-like skiing for a bit.
3 PM

Snowshoeing 1:24:15 [2] 4.76 km (17:43 / km) +97m 16:05 / km

Out with the Gallys on a mission to break the Metcalfe Rock snowshoe trail, a good alternative for tourists to snowshoeing on the ski trails.

Friday Jan 14, 2022 #

XC Skiing 1:44:00 [3]

Woo hoo, Kolapore is skiable! Did a loop to Marc’s Folly with Bash and Darcie. Chilly out!

Some trail breaking, the odd rock, but some good packed trail too.
Gorgeous with snow plastered on the trees. See Bash’s log for pics.
9 AM

Strength (Lumberjack ) 30:00 [3]

Hauling, splitting and stacking the last of the huge logs.

Thursday Jan 13, 2022 #

Cycling 52:00 [3]

Commute.

Wednesday Jan 12, 2022 #

Running 30:00 [3]
shoes: La Sportiva Blizzard

Run with the dogs- they put the hammer down!

Cycling 55:00 [3]

Warmish ride to work, and drizzly on the 9pm night ride home

Tuesday Jan 11, 2022 #

Running 28:00 [3]
shoes: La Sportiva Blizzard

Commute, around -22 when I got to work.
C • Hard ass! 2

Running 26:00 [3]
shoes: La Sportiva Blizzard

Night run home- a bit warmer

Monday Jan 10, 2022 #

Cycling 56:00 [3]

Cold windy commute. Had to pump a tire and got chilled fingers.
Still beats driving!

Sunday Jan 9, 2022 #

10 AM

XC Skiing 44:48 [3] 9.77 km (13.1 kph) +157m

Skate at Scenic. First decent skate of the year, but didn’t want to overdo it on my knee.

Did a full speed yardsale faceplant on the coyote and it took me a while to reassemble my visor, otherwise good.
11 AM

XC Skiing 3:14 [3] 5.8 km (107.6 kph) +109m

Switched to classic. It was nice and quick until the back of Logan’s run, where I was breaking trail into a vicious headwind.
Between that, autopause and poor route choice I mistimed it badly and returned late. We planned a shorter ski due to nasty forecast for driving home later.

Once again, I should have just stayed up top on skate.

Saturday Jan 8, 2022 #

9 AM

Snowshoeing 30:00 [2]

Hike/jog with the boys. I let them navigate.
11 AM

XC Skiing 1:14:50 [3] 14.36 km (11.5 kph) +225m

Highlands. Good conditions- lots of glide on the main routes, a bit blown in on back red but still good.

XC ski-Skate 14:24 [3] 2.84 km (11.8 kph) +14m

Switched to skate and did Teal’s tango. Windy and sparse snow- should have headed up into the woods or done more classic up top.

Friday Jan 7, 2022 #

Snowshoeing 1:20:00 [1]

Nighg snowshoe with Bash, Goose and coach LD. So good! Real winter!
3 PM

XC Skiing 1:00:02 [3] 10.14 km (10.1 kph) +165m

Scenic caves in real snow! Fluffy powder!
Glad I chose classic.

Thursday Jan 6, 2022 #

Cycling 1:18:00 [3]

Commute plus. Great conditions for studded 3” tires.

Running 24:00 [3]
shoes: La Sportiva Blizzard

Solid run with both dogs- the big guy put the hammer down.

Wednesday Jan 5, 2022 #

Strength (Lumberjack) 20:00 [2]

Tuesday Jan 4, 2022 #

Cycling 55:00 [3]

Winter commute.

Monday Jan 3, 2022 #

Strength (Lumberjack) 1:05:00 [3]

Hauling and splitting some loads of monster logs. Also sawed some fallen trees.

XC Skiing 15:00 [2]

Ski fail- just no base under the powder except in open areas.

Running 30:00 [2]

Fairly decent run with the big guy on his long line.

Strength 45:00 [2]

Workout 1 plus rehab.

Sunday Jan 2, 2022 #

Running 20:00 [2]
shoes: La Sportiva Uragano

Hike/jog with the big guy.
10 AM

Running 43:34 [3] 5.54 km (7:52 / km) +121m 7:05 / km

Kolapore with AD. Winter wonderland, but not enough to ski.

Saturday Jan 1, 2022 #

Strength 25:00 [2]

Rings

Hiking 1:45:00 [1] 14.2 km (7:24 / km)

Warm and damp out, no snow.

Hike to McCluskey’s rock with Bash and the boys. New section of the Bruce for me, quite tricky in spots, and the big guy was very excited and full of energy. Quiet roads back.
