I've never been so happy to get back to my vehicle after a ride...I was really worried that i'd be a burnt crazycanuck once I did get back.... I'm still a bit hazy but after some food & water i'm coming right...

I went the anti clockwise way on a trail today as i needed to know it backwards & forwards off by heart. Perhaps learning these things in the summer isn't such a good idea

I had my dear's GPS with me(he went on a roadie ride) as there are a gazillion ways one can go on the first part of the particular route i was on. It was stop, start, stop, start..oh hey ya that looks familiar, aha! I can navigate..slowly...I only saw 4 people & wondered where everyone else was... It was quite nice but really would have loved to ask someone what the best way to X was...I found it!

I was about 10km from our ute and then realized..agghgh..it's uphill..in the heat... That was one long walk as I had to stop & stand in the little shade there was....Let me get back to my car...good thing I had a lot of water...

35km on the dirt...good thing I did this ride today...I would be in serious trouble if i did it tomorrow...40C!!! I'm staying out of the sun for a day..
