Went to Kelso Conservation Area with Gordon today to train and practise for our 50km enduro on the 26th. Wow, some of the climbs were just absolutely deadly!! But as hard as climbing is, descending is just as hard. I walked as many climbs as I did descents. I think I’m still very unsure of my abilities but that’s okay because I got home in one piece, no major crash this time.

I can’t believe how high we climbed. We got to this one *coughcough*restricted*coughcough area and we could see down from the top of the Niagara escarpment to the entire area. We must have been maybe 200 metres up and it was a scary thought to fall. It was so beautiful up there; nice place to bring a date if you don’t mind the climb up.

Anyway, the best part of the ride was a trail called Snakes & Ladders. It was just an awesome descent criss-crossing back and forth down the escarpment with some ladder bridges to top it all off. All that work going up paid off going down!! Well enduro in two weeks, and Kelso once again next week. Once you have one, you can’t stop!
