Short hike at the Torrance Barrens with Cyclegirl and Birdybird. Deerflies were crazy!

Devil's Gap trail , Southwood road and Old Stone Road trail loop with Cyclegirl. Getting a little more time in the saddle before the Lost in the Rocks and Trees race. She was a little faster than me so it was a good workout (read: I was sucking wind a bit). Clipless went very well. Lots of water on the trails.

TOC's wed. night park series with Lori. Walked it mostly due to the crazy heat. No problem finding the controls. Should have done the long course.

Clipless at Buckwallow with Birdybird and Larry. No injuries! :)

Well...for me that is. Birdybird went over the handlebars and landed on his chest and cut his nose. He's on blood thinners so it wasn't pretty.

Lake # 27 Clear lake

Solo paddle. Had to ask for permission to use a cottager's boat launch. It appears that Clear lake is completely surrounded by private property. Larry told me who to approach, a very friendly old guy who he thought lives by himself. Well he doesn't... His wife was not happy to see me and didn't want to let me on the lake. Something about an agreement to not let other boaters on the lake. Her husband then said it probably doesn't apply to kayaks. They discussed it for a bit and she asked me if my kayak was clean (?) To which i answered that it was not covered in Zebra mussels.

End result , if I was only paddling for an hour ,I could access there and park in their driveway. Nice people after all only the lady was a little suspicious :)

Muldrew lake road , including short atv trail to try the clipless pedals again. A few adjustments but they're working out well.
