off the grid

Been off the grid this week in my search for some ski fitness. Headed to Falls Creek for some nice kms and some varied terrain. So after a early finish Thursday, I headed home to pack the car with kid, the boss and all the bits and pieces to get us through a few days at Bright. A lazy 4hrs of driving saw us hit the accommodation for a few days and Grier was bouncing off the walls after being cooped up in the car.
Friday saw us greeted with blue skies mixed with a few clouds for a session of classic on a fresh cm or two of snow. Perfect was the description. Grier was rocking it in style in the Chariot nice and warm. She tends to sleep most of the session occasionally checking on Dad, her pack horse, that I am still moving letting out the occasionally giggle as we glide through the terrain.

So we headed out through Washbed Creek on to Langfords and then turned around to head up towards Mt Nelse. Awesome session, felt good to get the classic legs going again.
Saturday saw us in for a skate session covering more or less the same terrain with a few laps of a loop taking in the Boat Ramp, High Plains rd, and the Nordic Bowl trails, fun time, hills were not my friend. Grier was rocking a pair of sunglasses... too cool for school.

The boss gave the Chariot a whirl, all smiles after a km, she was happy to give it back to the pack horse.... me!

We had a bit of a arvo session in the sun at the Bright Brewery afterwards, great way to end the day.
Only had one ride this week with Gav, he forgot his light but we still managed to get in a nice loop of local trails, still a bit wet from the recent rains. I have not seen it this wet in many many years, lots of puddles and sopping trails.
This week I hope to get some more ski kms in on my own up at Lake Mtn and I might even have a race on Saturday at the Bullfight Charge. Will have to see how the week pans out. Should be some more snow this week!
Happy trails!
