Green Belt

Trails Skied: SHE FULL, Glide Wax: , Grip Wax: blue v30

air temp -12C and some wind, but balaclava kept me warm for the first 2km or so, then I removed it. Almost perfect day, gorgeous scenery as usual. Classic track was not in pristine shape - too many users for that. Track was wider than normal, a bit glazed and sometimes mashed-up. Conditions were nice and fast. Went around the loop from P27 by west side of Green's Creek, headed west upriver to Rebecca (5.5km), then returned to P27 again via the loop. Lots of multi-use happening: everything but bikers today.
