Location: Dufferin Forest
Bikers: Tyler, Johnny, Chris
Hikers: Emily, Illona
Runners: Karen, Max
Even with the weather, we were able to get out and enjoy the nice day, or sun, snow etc, with a ride, hike and run. The snowmobile trail wasn’t groomed, and there were a few sleds out packing it down a little.
The below picture sums up the ride though…..
It was a tough trudge through the snow, and to be honest Skinny tires may have been the better bet for the ride…. As the tires dug through the snow instead of the fat tires which were floating on the snow.
The hikers had a good hike, set out with the intention of being passed by the runners and/or bikers then would turn around and head back to parking lot. Everyone went on different trails in the end and the hikers got a call from the bikers ( in the parking lot, consuming an apres) wondering where they are…about 3 Km from the parking lot… All said and done the hikers did 7.6 Km!!
