March 8

There was fresh grooming on all the trails I was on but this does not mean that the conditions were great.  Here are the details:

All parkways-very good
Penguin/Ridge to Fortune Pkwy-chunks of snow on the edges minimizing skating area-not great
Burma-more chunks, worse than Ridge, not good
Ridge from Burma to #2-chunky-not great
Ridge after #2 to "2km to go sign" on way to Mckinstry-very good, no chunks
(Note: 2nd crash of the year just after the 2km to go sign-large immovable branch sticking out of trail!!!)

Depending on the shade conditions ranged from tough to very nice although I started around 11am and so got stuck with some pretty moist snow.

Still a great day to be out but what with all the chunks, faulty equipment?
