Such a cool day! After prepping for a day of pouring rain, we woke up to dry roads and the occasional patch of blue sky - enough to motivate me that the trip to Canmore Nordic Centre I'd hoped for was possible after all. What an awesome place! First we rode our bikes on a paved trail that winds through the forest (it's usually a training trail for Olympic caliber x country skiers training on roller skis offseason, but luckily not even they are crazy enough to bike in cold drizzle on a holiday Monday, so we had the track to ourselves). Next we found a bike skills park -Rob, Brendan and Harry both worked up enough speed and skill to catch air on one jump. I didnt lose any teeth, so that's success all round!
Then we tried orienteering for the first time (like a scavenger hunt in the woods with a map and the prize for finding all 10 waypoint posts is scold beer in the lodge at the end. When done properly, you're supposed to run to see how fast you can complete the course. We did not). We passed on the disc golf course when the rain turned nastier, but still a great day in a super cool area!
