Longest wooden trestle in Canada

Charlie and I went to go check out the newly opened Kinsol Trestle in the Cowichan Valley. It's renovation is just completed and the opening makes it the longest free standing wooden Trestle in Canada and probably in the North American area.
It now connects the Trans Canada Trail so one doesn't have to hike all the way down, cross a river, and hike back to the top again to continue with the journey....or go the 90 km out of the way detour set up on the local road connections.
It spans the river valley about 114 feet high above and for about 617 feet across. It's awe inspiring. We enjoyed the views from both sides and it looks like they are creating a network of trails down by the river too.
It's a great place to head off and go for a run or walk. The day I went it was early in the morning so parking was plenty and it was quiet on the trail. But 1 hour and 1/2 later...we got back to the car after passing family after family on bikes or foot, and there were more cars circling around the parking lot looking for spots to park. The moral of the story is get up before the general crowds even think of leaving the house!
Our training is going well. Charlie is on all my training walks except the long distance ones....he's still too young. This weekend is 19.5 km and I hope to meet up with some of the DOA's to walk 2 1/2 hours...either that I'll be listening to my usual podcasts and music on my own!
As you can see I haven't been able to get 4 days a week in but I'm pretty close to the total km's needed for the week. My calfs are complaining already but I will try extra stretching and see how that does. I should be getting everyone together soon because it's almost the '1/2 way' there mark....yahooooo!
