Easy ride up/down logging roads along Wilson Creek above Roseberry with Lillian and Dad.

Run from New Denver up the highway to the Galena (Rail) Trail which I took back to Rosebery. Caught up with Lillian (who just did rail trail section), and ran with her until the beach at Rosebery. She walked straight back to the campground, while I did an extra loop.

Biking a new trail near Nakusp called Songbird Loop. Not particularily enoyable, no flow at all to the trail. Hard slog uphill (not so bad), traverse across with no flow (awful), roughly burmed downhill (decent), wagon road back to start spot (fast).

Climb from the top of Butter above Rosebery to a new adaptive mountain biking trail called The Spine. Came down that (very dusty), and then down Butter. Nice downhill riding.

While Dad, Lillian, Simon, Mr. Holmes and his son Jake, rode down the K and S and Galena from Sandon to New Denver, I started running at three forks and went up to the K and S (a bit of brisk walking on some of the steeper sections), then out and back to Payne Bluff, before on to Sandon to pick up the car.

More mapping at Mount MacPherson. Mapped further up the hillside up to the Main Loop (in winter) and currently a road on the west edge of the map, a distinct vegetation boundary on the north, and a major creek on the south. I have mapped up to the edge of about 300m of private land which is between the current map and the nordic centre lodge. The unfortunate part is that I have no contour data for that section, so will have to draw it manually, so decided to leave that for another day. If we ever host a major event on this map (which we totally should!), we will want to map this little chunk (the forest looks decent) just to connect nicely with the Stadium and parking area.

Off camping in New Denver starting tomorrow, so will be quiet on the log for the next while.
