Running 35:00 [3]
shoes: Topo Ultraventure Blue
Morning run with the beasts. We got caught in heavy rain. Stinky BZdog still gets to spend the day in the yard.
11 AM
Running hills 1:20:05 [3] 12.05 km (6:39 / km) +412m 5:41 / km
Bash wanted elevation, and we finally decided to venture out of Caledon to Hockley.
Parking lot was jammed, so we went to do 5th line repeats. Lots of cars parked at the lot there too, even though that part of the trail is closed.
Nice to have a change of scenery, but missing the actual Hockley trails.

Note
Bah, no morning run. The dogs met Pepe Le Pew at 6AM.
Gah. We had some skunk-off from Tobler’s era, and I got some sham-poooooh at the vet once they opened.
Still not the thing that stinks most this week....

Running 20:00 [2]
Easy jog/hike with the dogs.
BZdog was a raging bull on the THQ trail, but neither of them saw this little guy less than 3M away. He didn’t move a muscle or make a rustle. Also has no scent at that age.
Best not to bring the beasts there in early AM for the next few weeks.

Cycling 1:00:00 [3]
Ride in to work for an emergency, and rode the new piece of singletrack I built with Andre in Palgrave East.
Hot ride home via singletrack, then on our property I got to ride the new THQ trail.
It worked! The new version is rideable. Also lots of deer prints.

Short early morning run with the dogs while it’s cool.
AD seems to be favouring his front leg again.

Running 35:00 [3]
shoes: Topo Terraventure
Run with the dogs before it got too hot.
Strength (Trail building) 2:00:00 [2]
(4 hrs) Re-did the western lower half of the THQ singletrack in the steamy heat.
This one required more than just moving branches and forest raking- I had to saw a big log and trim and transplant lots of small trees and shrubs on a less technical route. Also needed a lot of shovelling to reduce side-slope. Hopefully this one works.

Strength (Trail building) 1:30:00 [2]
3 hrs.
I got a text from Andre the Palgrave trail steward captain asking if I could help them work on the singletrack. We re-routed the trail above a soggy bit, built a raised trail bed out of logs, and cut out some nasty roots and shovelled a lot of dirt over others.

Attempted the Treehugger Singletrack trail. (Name TBA)
First climb and rolling downhill went fine, but the second half was a fail- too steep and technical. Side-hill climb barely rideable in a super-low granny gear, and one descending switchback is kamakaze.
