Kanata Lakes

Beautiful weather, but I'm having a bad day.  Fought all morning with gremlins in the electrical circuits of the jeep without any success.  Hit the trails to burn off some frustration and brought along the gps to nab a few geocaches.  Things went downhill when I developed a slow leak in the rear...again.  I haven't replaced my missing pump, and now I'm paying for it.  I rode with low pressure for a while, un-weighting the rear as much as I could - I think that's how I managed knock the gps off with my knee?  Hid my bike in the woods, and went back on foot to look for it -forest green is not a good colour for a trail gps.  A few riders came through and I asked if they'd seen it - nope.  Gave up, turned around and hiked back and there it was! yay.  Ok, not a total loss - then I stopped a rider and borrowed his pump to get back up to speed...actually stopped 3 different riders to refill on the way out.  Managed to get 2 out of 3 geocaches after I recovered the gps.  Also took a bee in the eye, luckily it didn't sting! (always wear eye protection - I had taken my shades off to look for the gps).
  Weird day.
