Woo hoo!

@@ChopperOutdoors We were looking out for you. Hopefully we see you next visit. We'll keep you updated.

Agreed! You guys and gals do an impressive job of keeping things interesting & fun. Thanx!

Hi there, thank you for the compliment. We do our best! Sorry no, we visit South Florida from time to time. We're wandering MTB vagrants essentially unfolding adventures where we can find them..

Christmas ride!!! 😁

This is no joke fun. We didn't get to half of what's there on this trip....

Very colourful in fall.

@@d-nicebikes fat bikes ready to go.

@@d-nicebikes you’ll have to show me around there sometime. We should all meet up for a ride 🤘@AndreLaurentMTB if you’re up for it!

@BikingwithJP Yessir! Great fat biking at HAFTA. I know Andre will have a good group together, so let's make it happen!

@@d-nicebikes winterror is a whole different world at hafta!!

@@otipepsomar Thanx

Keep riding!

Thank you! Cheers!

First time in a few years. Maybe next time.

@@droppindown Boomerang has some serious, no joke roll downs. Lots have eaten dirt and pride on them over the years.

Tough is a mild description. Hafta is rough. Really should get out there more often.

@AndreLaurentMTB lol, yeah, for anyone who has never been, it's truly a tough trail system. Glad they have been doing work there with berms/features, though. I know it would help my tech skills to ride there more often. Especially since it's my neck of the woods.

Different spokes for different folks. Gotta ride what you have & time on trail makes it more fun.

Agreed, we visit in winter as well. The fatbiking is really nice. Those guys do a great job with these trails in all seasons.

I'm sure they are. Lol

I have one on my XT 11 speed bike. This one is a hand off replacement. Going with what I have on hand but keeping a close eye on it, for now!! 😉

It's not a trivial location. Thanx

Agreed. Unfortunate because the platform has so much potential. However, I do see a current firmware update that has increased the max speed while following significantly. The in trails & bushy areas is no better than it was before. No obstacle avoidance is still a fail.

We bike all year round with lots of travel involved.

Right on, ride on!!!!

Good service. Resolved but no explanation

That's great. Handup gloves stretch and wear too quickly for me.. A few of the guys I ride with do use them.

They are amazingly tough & light. The guys at the Enduro race who had carbon rims couldn't believe the weight.

Lol. Yeah, that was a dangerous one

@@nicholasoshea5791 the gas is less of a concern, will have to spend less or more depending on location of the trails & rider starting point. For some it's about perceived value and convenience. Some won't mind paying because it's all they know others will balk because they perceive better value elsewhere for the same time & $ . Going up in cost b4 the community has seen and evaluated is a risk. We can wish them well but time will tell.

@@japanunfound Morca's got some good trails

@@cvrossem nice meeting you. Flag to help out. Hopefully you got home on the inflated rubber.??

Should be really nice colours today. Dry and dusty

@@AndreLaurentMTB And warm!

Best time.

This was follow and manual control

@@AndreLaurentMTB what settings do you use on follow? Far?

@MarioFahrleitner I use medium, flat for trails. Too many head height and higher things in the way.

Thanx. It can be stubborn sometimes...

@@AndreLaurentMTB Damn that Skynet ;)

😂😂😂

The Fall Colours are amazing right now.. Thanx

Hey there. Thanx for watching, appreciate your support. I use the Garmin 530. For small and tightly packed trails like the Don Valley or Puslinch (check them on trailforks) the navigation can really suck, have to get my phone out and spin up trailforks. Hiawatha in the tight areas was also messy. The ride tracking is accurate but maybe reports 95 to 98 % less than what we actually ride, seems to have issues with accounting for hill distance. A hill is seen as flat probably. A wheel sensor helps with that. It is more consistent than trailforks on its own. Other riders use the 8.x & 10.x series and have the same issues in tight trail systems.

@@AndreLaurentMTB thanks for the detailed response Andre. Much appreciated. My Suunto 5 is pretty good, but isn’t always accurate and is getting pretty old and worn down. I’ve been researching different watches, bike computers, but still trying to figure out what route to go. Anyway, I followed you on instagram and just subscribed to your RUclips. Love your passion for riding. If you are ever in the Sault again, maybe we can get out for a ride together. I’m sure you could teach me a few things. I feel I’m getting pretty good on the bike, but still need some improvement and have to get my fitness back to where it was a few years ago. Thanks again. Cheers and happy riding.

@NeoClassicalFan I'm not sure if the watch systems are good for navigation but they might work for tracking. Clint Gibbs has a YT channel & he recently discussed GPS watches. Might be worth a look. I had a Suunto at one point but I need the infront of me navigation tool, looking away or hand off the bars = death. Keep an eye on the ghostriderMTB.com site, we post our rides there. If we're heading north you'll see it.. Maybe see you on the trails some time. Stress less, ride more. Stay safe.

Hey Andre don’t mean to threadjaxk but was intending on getting a Garmin 840 or something to use with Trailforks and not have to use the phone. To confirm your previous comment, it is not as accurate ?? Can you use Trailforks on these?

@andrer3764 the Garmin series are ok at best in smaller & tighter trail systems. They struggle to show and navigate where there are more than 3 trails that intersect.. we still have to get trailforks out to figure out the right trail. They are still better than riding with the phone on the bars..

@@PaulTjoen we actually had to climb 8 or 9 times. Was sooooo tired after...

@@AndreLaurentMTB That's a good effort. So about $2 per descent. Even as they add more trails, value will be capped by the ability/willingness to do that climb. I wish Rick well with the Hub and hope it succeeds. He's Emily Batty's dad and has ridden the area for decades.

Hopefully the expansion will add more trails and draw more riders.

The features are pretty mellow honestly. A newbie could do them fine as long as they take it slow the first time on them so they don't accidentally fly over anything they don't know is there. There's no mandatory jumps or drops that aren't rollable and no difficult technical stuff

@@JL-up8nh yep, let's hope they still l step the trail tech up a few notches

Correct. We asked and didn't get an answer.

Magnet Maybe 10km is that, with all the laps to get back to the top..

That needs a cleanup

@@mikelafferty5253 I've found around 14km/h is the limit...

Pretty much but two stand out, Chocolate River & Climb Down..

Might be worth at least 1 visit to check out but those were my thoughts as well... Until they up the count some more.

This mentality is why Ontario trails will always be mediocre, pay to play model creates far better trails then the crappy public land everything must be safe trails.

@@123biking I agree with this; sometimes payment gives better value in the end. With that said I also agree with another comment I saw on this channel; they need some better up trail system; maybe mellow switch backs or something. The steep climbs means that any perceived value of the trails goes out the window if people can’t do all of the new trails. Yeah yeah fitness I get it, but everyone’s at a different level.

It's not a trivial ride. Check it b4 U wreck it or a very good idea.

It'll be back!!

I'm not sure if it's real or an undocumented feature that sort of works for me. 😂

@@AndreLaurentMTB Brother, please make video about it, if possible..demonstrating it really works because I am getting mad about thinking how it is working so accurately in this particular video.... just wow

Looks like something worth investigating...

It's a good trail system for a fast ride

canada

Canada

@@mikelafferty5253 Oh. It's one of the countries I really want to visit before i expire. Canada because my wife lived in Montreal and Sweden because I'm part Swedish. You have nice trails there. Hope I can visit whilst I can still ride.

It's a big place with lots of riding from East coast to West coast. Fatbike in winter skinny in summer....
