Well not for us today! (My 13 yr old and I)

 

left timmys kincardine at 10am (had wrap and coffee on sled), didn’t want to head out too early as trails would be rock solid.

sledded over to Ayton for a early small lunch with some friends at Trixies and then for a small ride together.

 

down to listowel and filled up at UPI at 180km.

west to mitchel then up to blyth for a bite to eat at cowbell, now that restaurant has reopened. Had to wait 15 min for a table - but nice to sit down.

 

suited back up and home via wingham.

On the couch with a beer in hand at 6:45pm.

 

both our right thumbs are hurting it seems tonight.
 

359,7km for the day . Biggest run we had all season from our backyard.

850 was on fumes when got home. 900 ACE had 2 bars left.

 

road crossings, road running, and wooded trails were SHOT.

Went from mt.forest up through Neustadt and over to Chesley then to Chatsworth and down to Markdale for lunch. The trail from Chesley to Chatsworth was great. Think it was the R500 or something. I don’t lead I just follow or we would get lost pretty quickly.lol. Not a bad day but the road running is pretty bad and with next weeks forecast I think you are right.

That Chesley to Chatsworth section is part of my favourite loop. Love the wide bush roads and the rolling hills!

We ran from Arthur up through Hanover to Chessly over to Chatsworth down to Markdale to Durham to Mt forest back to Arthur. Trails were hard and fast with some icy areas. From Palmerston to Chessly was nasty with little snow coverage. Chessly back was great.

Went out again today from Markdale over towards Durham and I must say that the Durham trails were great today! Must give a shout out to all of the volunteers and groomer operators and most importantly the land owners!,
