Mountain bike (FatBoy ) 2:33:00 44.35 km (3:27 / km) +129m 3:24 / km
ahr:136 max:155
New trail day: south end of the Orangeville-Owen Sound trail I went north on last fall.
I headed out after dropping my mom off for her lunch. The trail is a few blocks from where she lives. It wasn't a ride I would recommend. It was very peaceful - I didn't see a soul on the trail the whole ride. It is pretty straight and mostly level along the top of the highlands. The trail was suitable for any mountain bike with a few loose sections were your rear tire might move around on you.
The trail was about 50% farmland with crop, 25% farmland with just a plowed field and 25% wood lands. I did see deer merrily running across the trail and 100s of tiny monarch butterflies - they were about the size of a loonie.

Golf warm up/down 36:00 [1]
After two hours working on bikes and three hours getting Mrs. iPads in the state she wants, an outing was in order. I new the temperature but was still surprised how hot it felt not working too hard.
Mostly short clubs again, but did finish off with a 150 yard (for me) club. Mostly straight today though the first few shots didn't want to bother getting very high in the sky. If this keeps my shoulders loose, it is much cheaper than the bone cracker or the muscle masher.

Road cycle tempo (Smokie) 2:00:55 45.01 km (2:41 / km) +373m 2:35 / km
ahr:141 max:167 shoes: Specialized SWorks road
Search for a 3 minute hill.
It turns out there isn't a handy one that isn't in a high traffic area. At least not to the east.
It wasn't too hot yet when I went out, but the light wind was noticeable during southbound and westbound segments. My front tire has been quite light on air before I started so I was half expecting a flat. It seemed to be holding up until my second crossing of grated road with an end lip of about 6cm. I didn't immediately flat, that I noticed, but stopping at the next red I was clearly out of air. It was just over a kilometre home so I hobbled back for breakfast.

Note
Quite warm mowing today. A side benefit of a battery mower is that you can only stay out as long as your batteries last. The one battery per day since last mow formula seems to be holding up.

Mountain bike warm up/down (FatBoy) 1:49:00 [2] 27.8 km (3:55 / km) +154m 3:49 / km
ahr:122 max:154
Search for market.
Mrs. wanted to go to the Aurora market but wasn't sure where it was so I offered to scoot down on the fattie and find it. I sent back a map and a landmark photo for decent parking then roamed the area until they showed up. A half hour later I decided they must be making some other stops and headed into Sheppards Bush.
The growth is so rich this year that there is plenty of shade and it didn't feel nearly the 32C my (always optimistic) Garmin said it was. There were two different run/walks on the south trail today.
The woods at the bottom of our hill are swarming with mosquitoes this year. That extra two months of ponded water was just what they are waiting for. I only exploded a couple today.

I thought I might be worn out this morning and actually feel quite good.

Road cycle warm up/down (Greenspeed ) 33:02 [2] 9.38 km (3:31 / km)
shoes: Specialized SWorks road
Easy test of the new rear cable and the new cleats I put on my shoes.
The rear isn't quite silent running like before but I'll give the cable a chance to stretch a bit before fussing it to much.
