I rode out to camp (cottage) on Saturday morning, the first 44km on the paved roads were fine but the 23km (that's all I could do of the remaining 27km) on the dirt road was awful with soft gravel that was shaped into washboard for most of the way and I was done when I fell over. I walked for 2km and my son came and picked me up for the last 2km. On Sunday, I went for a 1.5hr walk with the dog, actually, more of a cross between a hike and a scramble up and down rocks (not climbing because I rarely needed to use my hands to support or balance myself) and Monday (Canadian Civic Holiday) we went again and then later on Monday, I went for a bike ride that was supposed to be on a bikeable path but the last 4km required me to walk my bike on the really rough trail. Needless to say, my legs were tired this morning: I was hoping to ride 22km this morning but it was enough for me to do 9km.

I'll take it easy today and tomorrow and try for a longer ride on Thursday.

Have a great day everyone, it's continuing to be hot here for the rest of this week.
