Training Log Archive: Leanimal

Some good trail riding around the 7th and 8th line. It's too bad that they are doing so much logging in there because they are really buggering up the trails. I can see that people have been in cleaning up the areas that they went through last year......It took me a while to get my balance but things were running smoother by the end of the ride. I get a little bit nervous going out there by myself since I never see anyone and am not sure that I would be found for days if I hurt myself. It didn't stop me from trying all of the little stunts in there though - fun stuff.

Went out on the roads around Orills in the late afternoon. Absolutely perfect day. I was going to do the usual old ride but remembered a conversation that I had with my dear ol' hubby the other day when he was saying that he doesn't like training for the sake of training but likes to explore during those rides/runs. So rather than going right on by Cambrian road I turned right and just kept on riding. I told myself I was going to go out for a couple of hours so I thought I would just go until I found out where I was (saw something I recognized). What a great ride. I went around some sideroads and ended up at Severn Bridge at lock 42. I am sure there is some great riding north of there so Phatty and I will have to explore that direction since we usually go west and south of Orillia.

Legs felt great thankfully so I'll go out for a trail ride tomorrow before the MTB-O on Sunday.

C • OLD!?! Damn you, woman! 1

Okay I think I have had enough of a recovery after Michigan and it's time to start putting in some more hours.....

Out for a run around town at lunch. Felt pretty good considering I am doing a "cleanse" day with these supplements I am taking and basically that means no food all day. Not a big fan but one day won't kill me and surprisingly I am not that hungry, it's the no coffee that's a bummer although no headache either..mmmm

Legs felt good but I think some yoga is in order for tonight.

Around town while doing some errands....stiff quads.

Goose and I headed out for a tour of the Caledon Hills but made a stop at NDSC's house to test out his "Pump Jack" track.....a dirt track with a series of bumps and corners on it that you ride without pedalling. Watching NDSC's son do it made it look easy but once Goose and I got on it it was clear that it did require a bit of skill. I eventually was able to get around (almost twice) but would love to try it again.

By the time we had finished playing around it was too dark to continue so we headed back home.

After a weekend of orientation in the city I had to get out. I have been slacking all week. Felt a little rusty.
