Huntsville, Bracebridge and Haliburton.  These three towns form a triangle around my cottage, and are the sites for my three sprint triathlons this year.
Training in the city during the week - but at the lake on the weekends. 
For anyone with similar goals - great riding and running trails listed here:

If anyone knows of an appropriate cycling group in the Haliburton - please share.  My fellow riders are dispersing for a variety of reasons this year.

Off to spinners class.  Nothing like a good sweat!  Using the Heart Rate Monitor today - to track and download the data.  Data doesn't lie.

Great class - alhtough I wish I could put the playlist together. 

Figured out that the time you spend in the saddle is most beneficial when you are out of the saddle.

Coming up here to do your tri's is great, Remember to get some hill training in though or you might be in for a surprise though in Huntsville and Bracebridge. Goodluck and hope to see you there.

I cycle every weekend in Haliburton - and that's the one thing I notice when I cycle in the city.  You are never on a flat in cottage country - you are always either climbing or descending.  Makes city riding booooooring.
