Mountain Biking (Trail and Country Road) 4:04:18 [3] 80.54 km (19.8 kph) +530m
'Bent and I rode to Caledon East via Palgrave West singletrack, Duffy's Lane and the rail trail. After picking up Goose, who had ridden up from Bolton, we continued by rail trail through Inglewood, then by roads to the trail system of Forks of the Credit Provincial Park. We exited via the Elora-Cataract rail trail which took us to Erin where we finally (phew!) arrived at The Shed for lunch. I indulged in a toasted roast beef and swiss cheese panini, chocolate zucchini loaf and latte in a bowl. Yum. :)
We went home via Belfountain and the technical trails that lead from Caledon Mountain Drive to Grange Road and the quarry, and descend the escarpment into Inglewood from the west. I don't think we ever take the same route through that area twice. I really need to go for a ride in there with my GPS some day and make myself a map.
Somewhere along the way as I bounced over rocks, I made the highly specific diagnosis of a "spokey" sound coming from my back wheel. I looked optimistically for a stick caught in there but it was, in fact, a broken spoke. Luckily, we were only 20 minutes away from the Caledon Hills Cycling shop when it happened, and they were right on our way home.
My legs are now officially ready to relax for the rest of the long weekend! :) This doesn't mean I've earned a rest day. It means we'll be paddling tomorrow!
