rideau trail - canada 150 challenge - the boy

Short post, just to let you know rooster junior, the boy, has completed the Rideau Trail Canada 150 Challenge.

We went out when he got home from school today and made a loop big enough, with side spurs, to just break the final mileage he needed.

So, as of today, the boy has logged 150.28 km on just the Rideau Trail for 2017. It took him about nine months, but then he does not hike as much as I do yet.

I managed the complete the challenge in about six weeks of mostly shortish hikes.

Anyway, good for the boy. At thirteen years old, he decided he wanted to get the Challenge done on his own mileage and he did.

We will submit his logs tomorrow and await the acknowledgement. Still waiting to hear about the Scout Troop's submission. They are probably pretty busy with people cramming in kliks before the end of the year.

With thirteen days to the end of the year, there is still plenty of time to grind in one-fifty. blbbl
