Rode West and Quads/Fruitloop yesterday.

Everything is awesome. So fast. Hero dirt.

Won’t take long to explode into dust.

Looks like there’s a chance the rain will hold off today. Get out there.

I’ve had a reverb post sitting in my drawer for two years now for the exact reasons you stated above. Would also be interested to know how you make out.

Ok let’s plan for 7 at cricket then. That way I also don’t need to commit to going to Loblaws for 6:30 🙂

According to the internet, this day, the 18th of September 2018, sunset in Toronto is scheduled at 7:22pm EDT.

As such, should we perhaps the ride earlier tonight? 6:30? or perhaps instead start at cricket tree at 7 if no one can make an earlier start? Unless anyone has ideas how to move sunset later?

Thanks for the heads up Marley.

I just rode the west from loblaws through to the end of foreplay. Dirt is super tacky with a few minor puddles in the usual spots. The Don was super high this afternoon. Bring a kayak.

Tree down on the ridge, almost right where it was down last time – right before the left hand side double log over.

Also a tree…[Read more]

I think the majority of CX riders in the Don ride to improve their technical skills on their CX bike. You won’t gain any material fitness benefits riding CX on the singletrack.

I sometimes ride my CX bike in the Don, but only as a new challenge when I feel like i need to #MakeTheDonHardAgain

I think riding a rigid bike can help you ride a…[Read more]

@alen_z too early to tell, but I’m leaning on the dry side. If it’s wet we ride to beer?

Dusting the cobwebs off this thread. Anyone up for bikes tonight? If the trail is soupy I know where we could find a beer or two…

We’re not saving any daylight starting at 6pm either. I’ll be able to make 7pm!

I wish I could charge my fitness the same way I charge my lights. In for tonight!

Sign me up for that obviously giant sized cookie. Good use of the flashy silver plated saw for scale!

In!

‘Murica!!

@stephen_reese I rode Motown on Saturday afternoon. Was a little wet then, but should be good to go as the other trails are.

Having said that, there are about 30 billion mosquitos, and the forest is starting to take over. The railroad fence at the end is also challenging to get around.

I would call it all XC. I’ve seen many people ride most things on rigid single speeds and CX drop bars and skinny tires.

There is also the lack of a mountain…

@jcitizen I hope you don’t speak from experience on that spot

Rode Pottery to end of 4play – Most of it is in great shape. Swamp has one spot that is quite swampy. The beaver dam that jjb mentioned has been cleared and dredged a bit

Epic ride!

Thanks @marley for organizing and the most excellent apres. you and @veteran_youth got some great shots!!

I’ll be on team 7pm tonight, cx bike in tow.

I may not make 6 at Loblaws, but I’ll definitely make cricket tree.

Deal

I can make 5:30 work. Let me know where you guys decide to meet up @alen_z, @renegade-hardware
