This weeks segment takes you to the sort of hidden gem that is Birds Hill Park.  It also breaks up the recreational and competitive clubs.

Recreational Segment is the north side of the Chickadee trail starting at Griffins Hill and ending at the group use road, at 2.1 km it's further in the trail so you'll be nicely warmed up:

The competitive segment is the opening section of the Bluestem trail from the stables parking lot to the warming hut at Chickadee/Bluestem/Esker trail confluence, it's 5.3 km with plenty of twists but fairly flat, this will be a good test of your early season fitness:
