Thanks for the pics of the Riverside pics Trail Child! I've heard about those trails quite a few times but have never been. Can you or someone else whose been there tell me an intersection or parking lot near to one of the entrances? (For someone coming from the east).

Re: Injinji toe socks
Thanks Trail Child,
Were these the actual trail/hiking version of the sock though? i.e. with the green logo vs. the red logo on the top of the sock?
Thanks!

Injinji toe socks
Hey guys, I can't live without my Injinji toe socks! Without them I get pretty bad blisters between my toes while trail running. I recently went back to Bushtukah to buy some more of them only to find that they're now sold out and MEC only carries the "lite" version of them (for track, cyc...

Re: Gatineau Park & Ottawa area trail runs - Add yours!
Great reports, keep 'em coming! Jon, how long is the Green's Creek trail? Where do you access the trailhead? That's the great thing, it's a pretty convenient place to get to, Bearbrook road which is right off of Montreal road (continuation of the Rockcliffe Parkway). You can also just park at the H...

Re: Looking for some trail running shoe advice
Hey guys, thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to give a look to some shoes with less support this week. Having multiple pairs around would probably be nice anyways so that I'm not constantly putting on crusty shoes from being too lazy to clean them

Re: Gatineau Park & Ottawa area trail runs - Add yours!
Hey guys, I figured I would throw in some press for Green's creek; a fantastic spot for east enders who can't always drive all the way out to Gatineau to get in a trail run. Sure it's not as extensive as Gatineau, but it sure as heck is more convenient (for me at least) while managing to provide ple...

Re: You asked for it... Ultra Ark Run!
Just saw this post now. Sounds like an awesome race Mike! I took part in Storm the Ten ( http://stormevents.ca/stormthe10.htm ) a few years back and ever since then have been hoping to see something like that take place closer to home. Unfortunately there's no way I can take place this year since I'...

Looking for some trail running shoe advice
Hey everyone, I'm new to the forum having just found it yesterday and have been enjoying catching up on all the great posts! I was hoping I could get some equipment advice from everyone regarding trail running shoes: As a background, for road running I've been a longtime devotee of the Asics Kayanos...
