Palgrave with Bash.
First singletrack ride of the season, now that trails are dry and I have summer tires.
Very nice trail conditions, but we’re back to Pandemic Palgrave - tons of people out, including a big group of riders, so we decided to bail.

Note- I took a silly fall- caught my pant leg in the shifter on a tight turn and went down twisting my left knee. It felt weird later, after the ride, especially bearing weight past 90 degrees. Hope it’s ok.

Basically like this at the 30 second mark.

Easy ride with the boys. They were very excited about the bike too.

Full workout 1, rehab and some kb.

Perfect day for riding, but my wheel was at work. On the way home I wore it on my back Captain America-style to run to Mr Biker’s place, much to the amusement of the local Palgravians. He was able to finally seat the tire for me, but it even took him 5 tries and 45 min. Whew.

I was hoping to mount my summer tire and ride, but spent the whole morning fighting with it to no avail. Used every trick in the book, including running to work with it and using the big compressor. Nada. I was hoping for a small victory.

I was at least able to get out and run the dogs before my commute. Ahh, I needed that.

Night run home.

Trails are almost dry.
Tired after a hard day at work. Short staff, all tricky jobs.

Commute.

Run with Tarno. He thought the usual Pretty River run wasn’t hilly enough (and was too busy) so we did the Collingwood Double and a half. Beautiful views, pretty muddy in places.

First long run of the year- my legs will feel this one.

Rode the rail trail from Thornbury to Meaford and back with Bash.
Nice to see a different section.
Legs were feeling the run already.
