Paddlng 50:00 [2]
Camp day- paddling, swimming, reading, cooking complicated meals- love it.
As always, Aquaman Mick swam over the horizon, or at least to the far end of a pretty large lake and back.
Here he is shivering and refueling after.

Paddlng 1:30:00 [2]
We scouted the lake and moved to a much nicer site with a big rock, awaiting the text from the Timato boat to Barb’s inReach. We’d planned to paddle back and meet them at the start of the long portage. No text, so we eventually made our way there, only to see their brand new boat, and a rental double at this end of the portage. Not only had they started on time, Mick and John L had made it too! J-Lu’s first time as a bow paddler. I met Mick near the start and helped carry a load, but they did most of it without us.
Back to the campsite for some swimming before dinner.

Note
6 day canoe trip in Algonquin- our traditional trip with the Grant and Lucente fams. Unfortunately this year Aubrey had something on so would meet us the second day. Paul came down sick too so we weren’t sure we’d have any Lucentes either.

Portage 1:16:51 4.55 km (16:53 / km) +109m 15:05 / km

Ink Lake portage. Carrying my cedarstrip plus 30kg pack together, and ran back for extras at each portage.
Paddlng 4:00:00 [2]
Paddle with Bash from Canoe Lake via Joe Lake- Ink Lake to McIntosh.
Strong gusty side winds on Canoe lake, nice on the smaller lakes and creeks, but side chop on McIntosh even worse- Normally excellent Adventuredog kept jumping up as the boat was tossed. We grabbed a “meh” campsite before we were windbound.

Moved a big tree off the last downhill on the Covid Crusher too.

Cycling (Commute) 25:00 [3]
Ugh, lousy night's sleep after hearing that one of the Ski Musketeers was killed by a hit-and-run Tuesday. So awful. We were just talking about riding in Kolapore together but our schedules hadn't worked out yet.

Kolapore with Bash and Dee. Perfect day.
Saw a massive scat on the trail to Marc’s Folly from PH. Horse-sized bear?
Note - added D1X wireless electronic shifting to the BBW. Ahhh, excellent gear changes every time - so far, so good.

Strength (Trail work) 2:00:00 [2]
4 hrs.
We’re building the first new major trail in Kolapore in 33 years.
Went in with 2 crews, headed by Bruce who built the first trail here 50 years ago.
Bill and I were on the stump-removal detail- rather than cut off trees leaving a roosterhead to trip on, we muscle them out with a pickaxe and saw, chopping the roots and torquing out the stumps. Hard work- I went through a lot of water. Turns out the sawzall works better on the roots than the hand saws or axe.
The 2 crews got maybe the northern 2/3 of the trail cleared, although there’s still weed whacking and refining to do.

Tour de Pierre Stage 10 with Veinbuster.
Ride to Orillia with VB- Both on recumbents- I took my little Omega which was fine with skinny tires on gravel and a lot more aero in the headwind than my off-road beasts. VB took his Giro. Good thing he wasn’t on the speedy Basso!
We tootled around the waterfront for a bit, and found the next segment of trail- maybe a future stage before heading back into the wind.

Off to meet Steve H at the office, then chased him on his powerful e-bike to Inglewood for coffee and back. He’s got some medical issues but put the pain to me on the rail trail. Radler in Palgrave after a nice ride.

(60 min) We’ve been scouting and building a trail on our neighbours’ property with them. This was some had sawing and hauling fallen logs off the trail.
Hiking 1:00:00 [1]
Hiked the hounds on the new trail to Tom’s connector, Bruce then our trail back. The big guy was pretty enthusiastic to check out new woods.

3-stage with Bash and Gallys.
GPS missed the first 3km.
I wanted to try the lower trails, and come up the pines switchbacks, but when we eventually found our way down the Pines trail was closed for regeneration, so we had to bikewhack up Purgatory.
Maybe next time down Cummingo and up the Bitches.
Good thing Cathy had run a 28k race yesterday and Gally had biked up via Ostler to soften them up a bit.

Kolapore with Bash, Goose, LD and Gally. Perfect day and trails are dry.
We rode down to the Mill Creek bridge. I though we were being buzzed by deerflies until we started getting stung by angry wasps.
My left hand looks like a catcher’s mitt now. Good thing I’m not working for a couple of days.
