Near perfect conditions! Ridge and the parkways were very well groomed, level and wide. The snow was much better than on Monday as the moisture in the snow has evapourated or drained off making corn of the sluch. The freshly groomed dry corn snow was melting and glazing a bit which made for unlimited glide but easy edging. Grips was rock solid with Vauhti Silver Plus klister. A day that makes an out of shape racer feel like he could knock out a solid 30km classic race.

Burma was a dissapointment. It was ungroomed, uneven, rutted from old traffic and generally hard all the way...except for the climb up from Fortune parkway oddly enough. There are no bare spots and no lack of snow for groomers to make use of so this was strange. Maybe on Wednesday, the 3rd day of week, on the 3rd day of the 3rd month Trail #3 isn't groomed for superstitious reasons?
