Rocks!! Off Road Adventures
Looking at the above
picture could give an odd impression of what is going
on within the ranks of the Sudbury Rocks!!. At first glance
you might perceive at least one Ninja, and a couple of
bandits out in the cold. Not really so. This winter has
been truly unusual to date and the lack of deep snow has
allowed us to run on trails normally reserved for snowshoes
only. In the last few weeks we've been fortunate enough
to run on most of the lakes in the city area plus their
connecting trails. A highlight for me was a moonlight
run across 4 lakes. St Charles Lake, Middle lake, Hana
Lake and Robinson Lake are all in close proximity to each
other and are connected by walking/snow machine trails.The
moon reflecting off the snow made conditions appear almost
like daylight. This is an excellent route from the Running
Room in Sudbury as all those lakes and trails can be explored
in about 75 - 90 minutes. Our other runs have taken us
on and around Lake Ramsey and to the top of one of the
higher hills in the area, Mt. Ramsey at 990 ft (app 300m).
We then took in the Laurentian Conservation area including
Laurentian Lake, Bennett Lake, Nepawhin Lake and the University
trails. Click on the photo for more pics.
If the weather holds
we'll keep on exploring the off roads. Keep on running
All!

“The entire school will be involved in the celebration
