So after a few phone calls, I am going to Aprilfest with my Fairy Godmother Lynda. Yellowhead will also be going, so Lia and Luba will travel together in a nice big stock trailer.
With any luck, we will get some riding in on Friday, 12 mile set speed on Saturday and 25 mile set speed on Sunday. The trail at the Dufferin Forest is pretty sandy, not too much rock or road, so we will probably ride naked. I will take my Renegade strap ons just in case.
Hoping that Luba will be in a good space for her first big road trip of the year. She has been giving us some attitude lately. A little bucking and rearing in our lessons. A little separation anxiety about being away from Mama Sera. Add her heat cycle and a nearly full moon for good measure.
Luba is more fit this spring than she was last year at this time. The 12 mile on Saturday is Bronze set speed, so we will aim for the maximum of 7mph. If all goes well, then we will put the pedal to the metal and aim for closer to 10 mph for the 25 on Sunday. She hasn't seen much hill work lately, but we did an awful lot of plowing through knee deep snow this winter. So it will be interesting to see how things go!
We will try to be home before midnight Sunday.
Bibbity Bobbity Boo!
