  • Back on the trail

    Wild ride today. Most of my walk was along a canal, a nice pathway lined by trees and lots of shade. However the recent storms have caused a lot of damage and there were many trees across the trail. The path was passable but it wasn’t easy. I felt a bit like a Ninja warrior Read more
