Training Log Archive: 'Bent

More trail work. Bash and I rebuilt the bridge on the snowshoe trail near the baby gulch bridge, and cleared trail to Kolapore.
We also took more debris out- the biggest, nastiest piece of waterlogged 10x3 plywood and chickenwire. Alternated carrying it with 2 of us and my man-hauling it. A lot poorer sliding than the last piece I schlepped- I was wiped after.

Bah, now have a dry cough at night. Cancelled plans with friends and went for a PCR test.

We hiked the dogs in to the cache and hauled out some more lumber. (Smaller load this time)

C • PCR test 1

Commute. My cold is a bit better.

Sitting on the couch I thought I had one of those round burs inside my pant leg scratching me- nope, it was a 5mm x 3mm deer tick on the back of my hamstring. Sigh.

C • Lyme test 1

Bah- had a sniffle last night so spent today running around to get a rapid covid test before work. Just a cold, not Covid, but pharmacy was backed up so no time for workout or biking today.

C • maybe a way to avoid pharmacy wait? 4

Rainy and cool commute.

(2.5 hrs) Hiked in the pouring rain to the old safety cache, and got it fully disassembled.
Next I man-hauled a huge heavy section out of the woods for disposal. I managed to slide it on the sodden leaves for almost 2km, which wasn’t any worse than a fully loaded portage I guess. I was thinking it would need cutting up into small bits and dozens of trips, but a few hauls like this and it’ll be done by winter.

C • Wow! 3

Assorted grunt work including cutting and moving a pretty big tree with axe, saw and lever, and dismantling part of an old bridge to rebuild.

About 15k of total hiking. Some with Timato and Aubrey, more to the Kolapore parking lot to fetch supplies and back hauling a load of planks and tools or taking old wood out.
