No riding this weekend, but did go for a long hike through some long-since-visited trails in our wooded local park. Had to climb over downed trees, cross several streams, up one STEEP hill, and nearly lost the trail once with leaf cover, but we found the missing link / trail to another nature preserve and continued down to the end. At that point my new hiking shoes were killing my right foot. I'd tried them on with thinner socks and today had on wool socks, keeping my feet warm, but caused a rather nasty blister and wound that had ripped open.

We stopped for coffee (didn't know we could get to the coffee shop via this route-- SWEET) and I took off my shoe and saw why my foot was barking at me, so we hopped the bus and took it back home. I don't think I would have been very happy for the return trip!
