Beautiful blue sky and snowy trails all around. The tempeture to start is about 3 degrees as we wait 15 minutes, but to no avail, we have a no show (the sanest of the group no doubt). Off we hop down the trail, Peter and I, wondering if this is a mistake, should we be on skiis or shoeshoes, to late we've started this run called the Spring Bunny Hop. It's got to be spring somewhere but not here,usally here the trails are pretty much bare this time of year but as we find out we're in deep, up to 24 inches of snow, that's above my knee. These trails aren't for the faint of heart, I think it's a sanity thing. As we hop along we come across what happens to you if you fall behind(in pictures to follow). We make it to the turn around point in about 1:45, and start are hop,slog back as I wonder where are my skiis? When will this odyssey end? Will the trail suddenly improve? No answers come as we slog along, but what a beautiful day, I am in shorts, enjoying myself running in the snow, why do my shins hurt and bleed I thought Ontario snow was soft, go figure. Any way it is almost over 3 hours of slogging through the forest can be tough on you, but also enjoyable I must be sick. Well the end results, 3 hours Peter and myself, Peter wins. Tempeture at finish 11 degrees. Points 3 to Peter. 4 to me.( I win). Overall tough run today, but The Spring Bunny Hop lives. Happy Trails Sinc.
