Note
Great biking movie:
We went to the Banff Film Festival last night. Amongst other great films, we saw a 55 minute version of 24 Solo, which follows Chris Etough, a rider trying to win the world 24 hour solo mountain bike title.
It's really well produced, beautifully filmed with a great soundtrack, and a gripping story.
Here's the preview:

XC Skiing 50:00 [3]
Classic skiing on the waxless boards around Palgrave West.
Great spring conditions. Limbo-ski required on the Charlevoix hill, slow going where the sun's softened the snow, but very good in the shade.
2 lanes are working the best ever!

Snowshoeing 1:10:00 [3]
shoes: Ecco GTX + Screws
Snowshoe run with Bash down the HVHT. Some deep trail breaking, but also lots of older tracks. I thought I saw Slowrunner's tracks, and sure enough we met her with Lexie.

Run back up the HVHT. Even running in our snowshoe tracks it was hard work. I pushed hard up the hills, easier on the rest. My knee held out, but I could feel it. Missed the Bulletdog!

XC Skiing (Commute +) 40:00 [3]
Wow, conditions are an absolute 10 / 10. Great tracks, brilliant sunshine, a couple of cm of fresh pow. I did an extra loop in Palgrave West.
Crossing over from Palgrave to Reddington I ran into a TRCA fellow, who told me they're fencing off that side of the conservation area tomorrow, cutting off my commute. Hope they leave me a gate.

XC Skiing (Commute) 32:00 [3]
Fast conditions in slightly frozen tracks home. As advertised, there's a huge mess where they ran a bulldozer along the trail to install fence posts.

Snowshoeing (Commute) 40:00 [2]
Skipped a great ski to snowshoe the Bulletdog to work. Also great, clear and -12C. Some heavy trail breaking, and Bulletdog got her 10 minutes of freedom.
XC Skiing (Commute +) 40:00 [3]
I took a longer route home after a tiring day, with a fair bit of new trail breaking. Sections of Palgrave are like skiing in trackset snow the trails are so good.

XC Skiing (Commute) 1:10:00 [3]
Breaking trail to work at -20 in great snow. The way back was in excellent tracks but it was now -2 and sunny so my wax was useless. Slow going but still a beautiful trip home.
Near home I saw some funny parallel marks in the snow, where some wee beastie's track ended. Mystery solved when I saw a Great Horned Owl take off from a nearby tree. More wing-prints nearby.

Snowshoeing race (Thomass Stars) 54:00
(injured)
Deep snow so we used snowshoes on Nick's course.
I messed up the first box with a parallel error and went way past B to E, but went OK on the second map and ended up 8th somehow, between Phatty, Tiny and LeAnimal.
I felt the knee but it wasn't too bad. The brain was more of a handicap.

XC Skiing (Skate) 1:09:00 [3]
Hilton falls. Soft snow and a lot of footprints made for some heavy going, but still a wonderful day out.
Running warm up/down 10:00 [1]
