Mountain Biking (Single Track) 1:41:53 [3] 20.35 km (12.0 kph) +345m
slept:5.75
First technical ride of the year! The trails took longer than usual to dry out then I injured my neck and couldn't ride. It was worth the wait.
I did most of the single track in Palgrave East and some of the double track too. Conditions are excellent except for a few muddy sections on the multi-use double track. I didn't see any poison ivy in leaf but it's almost that time.
I ran into Wayne, my former bike mechanic who still rides his mountain bike fast in his 70s. There were 20+ hikers and bikers on the trails on a week day, and I had to make a couple of last-minute swerves when other bikers were approaching head-on at high speed. Palgrave East has become popular enough that I don't think it will be safe for the dogs to come riding with us anymore.
There were a few trees down from the wind storm but all the designated MTB single track had been cleared. These photos were taken in the stretch from 15-16 km.
Clouds were amazing at my neighbour's lookout, known as Thinker's Hill.

Running (Trail) 2:46:40 [3] 20.41 km (8:10 / km) +452m 7:21 / km
slept:7.0 shoes: Salomon S-Lab Sense Ultra
Lollipop Bruce Trail run from Inglewood to Belfountain to Forks of the Credit, where I did an extra loop around the Park before returning on the Bruce and a Bruce Side Trail beside Galen Weston Jr's place. It was a spectacular spring day and I went through a lot of podcasts. Afterward, I dropped by the Caledon Hills Cycling shop sidewalk sale and BBQ and somehow managed to spend $432 on cool stuff but I did get a free burger. :)
Trillions of trilliums - or a few less.

Some people have a policy of only doing activities that will last longer than their travel time there and back. 'Bent is breaking that rule this weekend as he heads to Yellowknife for a 24-hr stay with an overnight stop in Calgary tonight. It's his Mother's Day gift to his Mom, who broke her ankle while visiting family a few weeks ago and had surgery up north. She has finally been cleared to fly home to Toronto with an escort. Total travel distance for 'Bent will be about 8,200 kms. He doesn't have to buy a card this year!
