Bronte Creek PP

5 min warmup, 50 min uptempo, 5 min. cooldown

WT course test w/ Bash. Fantastic southern Muskoka terrain! Lots of open bedrock and open forests made for speedy travel, although running perpendicular to the general direction of the bedrock resulted in much more up & down (hint, hint to any teams who may be reading this). Highlight of the day was a toss-up between finding a Great Blue-Heron rookery (never seen one of these before...roughly 10 nests on large, dead trees in the middle of a marsh & we spooked about 10 herons who circled overhead), finding a "friendly" hunt cabin with a note welcoming off-season visitors in (usually they're locked), or possibly the friendliest local we've ever met while course testing.....after we bush-bashed down to his cottage he was quite keen and provided tons of info. on the surrounding area....huge bonus!

Cool ride back to the car, although the trails are still a bit wet....

easy ride around Bronte Creek PP, trails are so dry & fast right now...
