A VERY BUSY APRIL

April was a bit strange. Warm, cold and wind. Endless wind when out riding.
And busy. I help with the annual
Paris To Ancaster Bike Race. I helped a lot more than usual. April went by in a flash before I knew what happened.

But the trails have dried out nicely and it is so wonderful to be exploring again. Bronte Creek Provincial Park has trails along the valley edge. Not technical but so scenic in spring time. By summer the greenery has closed in and you don't ge these long views but at this time of year it is spectacular to look out over what is essentially a canyon in the forest. It is hard to believe that it is so close to major population. For me it is about 20KM from home so it makes for a nice morning or afternoon trip.

For reasons unknown I rode a lot more than usual in April. Not more rides but longer. I guess I was making up for the lost riding in February and March. Still, more warmth would be nice. It has to happen soon as it is May!

Hope to see you on the trails!
