AN INTERESTING MONTH
August turned out to be an average month for riding. Holidays were in there too. I probably spent as much time in a canoe as I did on a bike.

Holidays as they have for the past few years have involved a cottage stay on Ahmic Lake NE of Parry Sound. There is an abundance of gravel roads in the area which makes for some fine riding.

There are also a huge amount of hills there. It isn't difficult to hit a vertical kilometre of climbing on a ride. Some are long and gradual and others are short and terribly steep. I always like to poke my bike into those marked "No Winter Maintenance Beyond This Point" or "Not a Through Road". Most of the time you can get a bike through there and they usually end up being a really, really interesting place to ride.
