Ontario has a Lake to Lake Trailway?
Просмотров 668Месяц назад
With most of this trail system complete, we rode from Newmarket to the shores of Lake Ontario. With more grant money on the way, and most sections complete, this trail system is emerging as an excellent urban suburban network that will take riders from the south shore of Lake Simcoe more than 120km to shores of Lake Ontario and into Toronto's urban centre. Check out the links below for more inf...

Welcome to the toughest bike race in Ontario!
Просмотров 8622 месяца назад
I returned to this race from 2023 with unfinished business this year - having had a mechanical last year, I wanted to finish. Well this year did not go according to plan. This event might just be the hardest single day race in Ontario. The 130km includes 1700m of climbing. And not just smooth road climbing, or gravel road climbing; this race brings you face to face with washed-out forest trail ...
The Uxbridge (Dirt) Bike Trail?
Просмотров 6573 месяца назад
Even dirt bikes couldn't ruin a great day in the saddle for a gravel ride on the Canada Day long weekend. It was unfortunate to see dirt bikes speeding along the trail at 40km/h. Yet, overall the ride made for a great day. The Uxbridge Rail Trail to Lindsay is part of the @transcanadatrail. I would recommend if you are doing the loop that you carry enough water to get you to Lindsay. There are ...
The Perfect Cycling Loop in Ontario
Просмотров 6 тыс.3 месяца назад
The Simcoe County Loop Trail is 160KM, and is in my opinion the best long-distance loop for cycling in Ontario. It's not the most technical; it doesn't have the steepest climbs; it's not remote; it's not all gravel. So what makes the @CyclesimcoeCa Simcoe County Loop Trail the perfect loop for cycling in Ontario? It has gravel roads and rail trails; it has great bakeries; hits through great tow...
Day 3 Prince Edward County Bike Tour
Просмотров 1066 месяцев назад
A long time coming, but this is the third and final video of our big tour through Prince Edward County Ontario, Canada. This is a fantastic area for cycling, tourism and just to relax. You really feel you are a long way away from urban living. And yet you are really not that far away at all. Link to the route can be found here. Base31 is the WW2 airforce training site we visited as well. Lots o...
Prince Edward County Day 2
Просмотров 738 месяцев назад
At long last the Day 2 video! :-) This was by far our favourite loop. The Cressy Loop, which leaves Picton as a loop around the peninsula. The weather was great. The cheese was great. The beer was great!. Link to the route: www.komoot.com/tour/1262696754?ref=wtd&share_token=aWifGAAoUrfpVQ3dD38H6CLxUB7AcZePwYXLWpnfsJsLKjHRBC

Here is Day 1 of a three day cycling tour. All tours begin and end in Picton Ontario. It's a wonderful place; and these three routes only scratch the surface. There are many other rides possible, including wine tours and the Millennium Rail Trail. Hope you enjoy. Link the the route is here: www.komoot.com/tour/1262696758?ref=wtd&share_token=axvi0nWgg3uG5SY9S8ZO3Wv8raM80HI1IbiNMTFSmGoc90qyLP #PE...
2023 Reggie Ramble Gravel Race
Просмотров 234Год назад
The 2023 Reggie Ramble is an epic gravel race in south central Ontario. It's about an hour's drive NE of Toronto, and south east of Rice Lake. There are three distances (Loops): 65km (one loop); 130km (two loops) and 200km (three loops). And each loop is a distinct ride, not a repeated lap. The race was first run in 2019. The 2023 edition was the largest to-date, with the fastest finishes so fa...
Unbound Gravel 100
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.Год назад
This was a bucket list event for me. An absolutely amazing ride. And the hardest ride I've done. Who said the prairies are flat!! 1300m climbing and 7km of hike a bike through heavy sticky mud. What makes this route amazing is the people: the local residents embrace the event and the cyclists are made to feel so welcome. I had the fortune of spending five days with the team from Rocket Revoluti...

OMG do I not know how to spell Revolution in the title frame? LOL. Final pre-ride before tackling the 100 mile Unbound 2023. We had no idea what the next day would bring us! Lol. Really enjoyed the training camp with Rocket Revolution Performance Coaching. What a fantastic crew.

Who's terrible idea was this fantastic ride? Haha. Some rides you can love and loathe at the same time...this was one of them. An epic 140km ride with my buddy Jay. It was supposed to be a bit of a loop; but as you will see, on the return I had to make a straight line back to civilization to warm up! This is really a great route though; it takes you through some rail trail, gravel and remote se...

Saturday Cycling Adventure - Just Have Fun!
Thank you very much for your video! I'm almost 75 years old, live in Barrie, Ont. Unfortunately, I have Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. Garage burnt down 2 years ago. Lost bike. Have not replaced. My son lives on Queens Quay. The drive to Toronto is a drag. I would like to take the Go train down to Toronto, visit the kids, ride around a bit on the lovely paths on Lake Ontario, and go home. MY QUESTION: Last time I looked Go train will accept folding bikes on all trains. Normal bikes not on rush hour trains. What is the " loading your bike on the train experience " like? Are there lots of people wanting to load their bikes on the train? Is there a chance CN will say "we're full - need to wait for the next train" or is it very easy? I have been toying with buying a Brompton. I see Brompton has just released a 20" folding bike. Little pricey but life is short and the 20" wheel better for the spine. A full sized bike with fat tires would be even better save the rush hour non-folding bike train restrictions. Anyway, enjoyed the video. I assume that broken bridge was on Cherry Street? I've never heard of the Lake to Lake Trailway. I wish I was a little younger. Whatever - we are lucky to live in Southern Ontario! Thanks again for the video!!!
@@chrissorlie5291 hey! The train on weekend has no restrictions on bikes. I found ample space to get my bike onto the train. Each car can take 2 bikes I believe. There may still be some limits during weekday rush hour. But I would call their customer service to ask as it might have changed and be easier now. Make sure when you get to union you find the elevator to the train platform when you arrive to avoid lighting your bike up stairs. There are customer service reps roaming the main floor to help you. You could take an early train from Barrie to Newmarket. Exit and pick up the Tom Taylor trail from there to head south. It’s a fun ride!
When you were on the docks the merchant was probably a ships chandler, not chandelier. A chandler is like an outfitter but on a gigantic scale for ocean-going vessels.
@@jamesandrewsinclair7488 wow thanks! Had no idea. That’s interesting and makes sense down there.
Thanks for the video, always wanted to try this event and heard is war VERY difficult, I am now 74 so think I will pass..Txs fj.
@@jfmmccoll9189 it’s a tough one for sure. I wouldn’t see myself doing more than 65km for an event. While it’s hard, the fact you’re on the clock makes it harder!
Why not? There’s nowhere else space for him to be
@@theodor.koerne Reasonable question. My concern here for the safety of the cyclist is where they came from in the middle of the road, and continued splitting the lane even when there was room (that you cannot see). I’ve had occasions commuting where I’ve had to move from the right over to the left and split lanes (certainly when the right passage is blocked); it is sometimes necessary. On this road there were options that are not readily seen on camera; and the lane splitting continued longer than I feel was needed.
Looks like a fun ride 👌
@@SwimBikeRunStu well worth registering.
I installed the glass railing at Warkworth Winery!!
@@ronrehel1176 wow. Cool. I coulda used a lot of wine. Might’ve helped.
That's a nice tent ,stupid deer flies, I have to agree this is a hard , but fun race.
@@stevebarratt6912 I spoke with Jeff Wills after the race. He rode Unbound and believes Reggie Ramble is harder! He’s not wrong!
Nicely done! Hard 65 km, even with the shortcut and leaving early! lol.
Did that route on Halloween evening three years ago....ended up riding 50km in the pitch dark!
@@DejanOfRadic whoa!! Not surprised at that time of year. That would shake things up at the end!
Looks like a great crew.
@@PromenadeMTL was an amazing day all round!
Thank you for this video. That used to be my favourite rail trail. Perhaps I should head back soon and see if it can regain its position.
@@cardiaccyclist7477 it really has a lot going for it. Have ridden this a lot. I just hope they address the motorized bikes. Simcoe loops had that problem too but blocked the motorcycles.
@@bike-ride-beats do you mean e-bikes?
@@cardiaccyclist7477 no. Dirt bikes
Looks great… can you share the strava link for this route, please? Thanks 🙏
Forgot to add in description. I’ve added the link there for the route. I use Komoot for mapping. You can easily download the GPX file to import into whatever navigation app you use. Strava, Garmin, RWGPS, etc. thanks for the comment!
@@bike-ride-beatsthanks! I was at PEC 2019 and 2022. Maybe we rode together. I use ridegps and Strava to create routes. I’m more of a road cyclist.
Awesome route! I’ve been wanting to do some riding out in that area this summer, will have to check it out
@@Walshibikes def worth it. You won’t be disappointed.
I love the video summary, makes the day even more memorable.
That looked fun, hopefully there is more too come.
@@thomasblak5315 some more rides coming. I enjoy it. Always something interesting that I hope others will like too
even if I did not see it, Jay definitely stuck his tongue out.
Right!!
Where are all the bridges on the paved pathway?!?! That’s the best part of the route!
@@ronrehel1176 on the cutting room floor. Maybe for the Directors Cut
Do you recommend doing the loop clockwise or counter clockwise?
Counter. Start from the museum and you get the big Anne St climb out of the way at the beginning. I’ve done both and I prefer counter.
Welcome fellow motorized bikers and the dippy guy 👋😅 Thanks for the rip 💯
Love the county and the ride to the bird observatory is a nice one, very quiet. I have cycled there a lot, cool to see it from someone else's pov! I plan to do some more videos from there, only have two I believe Thx for sharing
How much of the ride is paved vs gravel? Is it fairly easy to see a good pace or are there a lot of pedestrians in spots?
Probably 80% gravel. Trail does go through some town roads. And the north trail through Penetang is a paved trail but beautiful through forest. You only see walkers in the more urban sections. Avg pace for me is 24kph
Sorry my Friend, stupid unbound !
Those views !
Doing this in sept, camping at bells falls 1 night Thanks for the video
Enjoy! Would love to hear about it if you want to follow me on IG at bike.ride.beats thanks for comment.
That was a feel good video, it definitely lifted my spirits
As tough as it was on you, you kept your cool and seemed to enjoy the ride and was so happy the whole way. I will always think about this video when things aren't going my way, for inspiration. Out of water, man I would not have been fun to be around, much less make a video, and you talked about the adjustments to make and the scenery. Great video 👍👍
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Tough one for sure. And that was definitely a less than happy moment. But all I could do was think about one pedal stroke at a time and go as best I could. Thanks!
Well that sums it up perfectly, love the scenery, music and the shout out to Johnny! Thanks for making this !
Amazing video. Hope to do this loop.
I love the video, music and commentary!
Of course you know who the national is !
Bra, that hill on the 19th…..killer !
I am both impressed and bothered by that climb all at the same time
Nice. Love the Serena Ryder tune.
That was a long solo ride !
