Saturday of long weekend. Hot and sunny with cloudy periods. XCCM roller skiing day. Long (1:45) drive to Blue Sea, so a late (10:00) start. 4 others (Trevor, Heather, Emily, Allan, Ray), all skating, except Emily and I, although she was able to keep up and I wasn't. Told 15-16km round trip to the south, so I turned around at 8km and skied back. Only it was actually 14km to the end of the paved section, so everyone else did 28km. However, when i got back to the car, I switched to skate and did another 4km north and back, so 24km, almost as much. Then some of us went for a dip in the lac in town. There is a sandy beach but it isvery gross with goose shit and some litter. Managed to do one spectacular wipe out and nearly broke a toe. I also lost a part off one roller ski, but probabaly not vital, and got blisters (Type 2 fun...). Not bad for the first time out this season.
