Ipperwash Dunes and Swales

Seek and you will find.
When up at Ipperwash we were told of some trails that were run worthy and as it turn out a side entrance to the trail was very nearby. (as noted by our trail running waitress at a pub in the area)
There are a couple options a 'proposed trail' section that was 5.2 km and would include a section along the beach. The trail was OK but the section coming back into the trail from the beach portion was not well marked or well used, and with recent rains was somewhat flooded.
The 'Boardwalk" trail section was about 4.5 km and was a really nice trail with nice scenery and the trail was perfect.
But the one bug in the ointment, so st speak is the ticks. Not as bad as in more wooded areas around Southern Ontario, but Siri was a magnet for them.
So by combining the two trail sections, it makes for a decent morning trail run before a long day at the beach. (should summer weather ever arrive that is)

Determination

LOCATION CHANGE for MAY 11th

With recent heavy rains and high river levels, the Soiled Sport Trail Safety Committee has asked that this weeks trail run along the Gibbons Park River Trail be moved to a later date.
So this Saturday, May 11th, the location of the trail run is now Komoka Trails.
Please remember that we DO NOT PARK in the pay for parking facility that they have tried to force us to use. We protest with our feet, by parking a short distance from the trail head along the road.
Please park on the south side of Oxford Street just past Woodhull Road.
This is the gem of our trails that we run, so if you have not been out to Komoka Trails, plan to be impressed.
Please do not get suckered into the 'Rookie Hill' by Bill W., unless your idea of fun is puking your guts up after a run. (I am not kidding, as we have seen this happen to a number of newbies who thought the Rookie Hill challenge would be an easy and fun thing to do)
