Up to Albion with CoachLD where we met up with Bent for a trail ride. Amazingly, the trails weren't water-logged after all the crazy rain this past week. Those Chico guys do such an incredible job on the trail system!

Gave a 'friendly' morning hello to the lady who drifted her SUV into my path whilst she gabbed away on the phone.

Crazy rain came down about 1/4 of the way back to the car. Decent speed otherwise, though.

Parked at the 400 and wrestled with traffic down to Markham. Too many cars to make this a thoroughly enjoyable drive I'm sad to say. My favourite hammerhead move was the lady who made a pass on a country road right toward me...I suppose I just don't qualify in her mind as a 'vehicle'. Ugh.

Uneventful ride uphill back to the car. I tried to push it on the hills in as big a gear as possible...you know, to mimic the scale and challenge of hills that the Harps has been firing off in SB.

Goose and I got dropped off at the top end of the HVT and ran back to Bolton via trail and off-trail. They're planning on building a 'multi-use' 1.5m wide trail from Bolton up the Humber and from the sounds of things, we're not sure that they're really taken advantage of the terrain to the west as much as they should. So we scouted what we thought would be the best way.
