P19-Lusk Lake, back to 50, up and down 55 blue.
Conditions were springy today. Since I had a long skate yesterday I needed to switch gears and rest my leg, so classic was the only option - but it would have been much better for skating. The early fresh grooming on the Lusk trail was still fairly hard - and my wax even worked. (VR60) It was delightful to see Lusk again - first time in 2 years! By 10:30 I upgraded to VR75, but the sunny conditions were wreaking havoc with both glide and grip on trail 50 - so I decided to backtrack and try a little bit of 55 in the woods, just to check out the first stretch to kill time while Garry skated on to Herridge. The wax worked quite well in the woods, at least for most of the time, and I ended up continuing on to Taylor Lake and sat for a while on a picnic table in the warm weather before heading back down through the woods. These were two trails I have wanted to do all year, so it was a good day!
