Note
'Bent and I are excited to announce the impending arrival of Treehugger ABC 2.0!
As country bumpkins, we've loved having a modern townhouse in Collingwood with natural gas, town water, good cell signal, a pool and a short drive to everything, including several friends' houses. It's been completely different from our life in Caledon - an urban getaway with different outdoor adventures nearby.
But it hasn't been ideal to wrangle two big dogs and their poop bags 3-4 times a day in a compact subdivision, and we can't fence in a dog run. The pandemic was the tipping point for us. TH ABC was supposed to give us more opportunities to spend time with friends but we'll need a back yard for that for the next year and maybe longer.
So as of Sept. 15, this will be TH ABC 2.0. There was an O map made of the property (and surrounding area) before the house was built. Do any orienteers recognize this snippet showing our lot?

Coach LD and I set out from her house for a lovely, distanced hike through the local park onto the Humber Trail. It was nice to catch up! On the way back, we detoured to downtown Bolton to get ice cream so I could count this for the Cool Runnings badge in the Summer Scavenger Hunt. Mmm, banana fudge ice cream. :) Coach LD sent me home with even better treats made with local berries and currants - yum!

Road Biking (Trainer) 1:00:00 [2] 14.6 km (14.6 kph)
Purr de France
Stages 20 and 21 - the Finish Line!
My head is still feeling OK so I allowed myself to pedal just a little harder for the final two stages of Le Purr de France. Still kept the heart rate down though.
I'd hoped to do almost all my riding for PdF in Palgrave Forest so it was a drag being stuck on the trainer for the past week. But a concussion would be a bigger drag. For the first two weeks of Le Purr, it was fun to be "forced" to find time for a bike ride on most days, often right after my morning coffee. It became a chore when I had to switch to riding the trainer but c'est la vie. I listened to podcasts.
After crossing the "finish line", I celebrated by awarding myself the nice cycling cap that the organizer sent us all. We posted photos and chatted daily in a Facebook group so it felt like being part of an event. I'd do this again.
The spectators went wild.
