Avg speed: 7+ km/h
Total distance to date: 629 km

First (and final) run of spring
Flowers were all abloom on the Bruce when I got out on the first weekend of May. This section around the Bayview Escarpment made an easy loop. By logging an extra 3 km or so on the road (making the total run just over 14), I was able to double back to the car. Meaning I didn’t have to beg anyone for a drive. Further sections will be more complicated. At least I got in one springtime run. Next time it will be all summer and green, and my banner photo will be out of season yet again. Who has time to blog?
What is this strange furry tree?
Do not touch ANYTHING. It may explode and kill you!
Not sure if you are still monitoring this – but thought you might be interested in the following race:

I’m following it. I may be out on the trail covering it for a story.
Great – where will you be contact them – or do you plan to run along!!
I hope to monitor the tracking and if possible get out on the trail as they pass ‘my’ Orangeville BT sections.
