There seems to be a consistent few who are contributing to the dual sport threads and have expressed interest in casual but organized rides this coming season. I'm part of a large rides whatsapp group but we can certainly start our own. If you're a whatsapp user, look for me at 4169307405 or...
Don't worry, I've got the hockley - creemore run down to an exact science. There's a Hickey parking lot right on hockley valley road that had plenty of room for truck and trailer - that's exactly what I do as I don't like to ride pavement all the way there. Don't expect the same kind of riding...
And for those who don't want to do the "official" rides with any of the clubs, I am still planning many ad-hoc day rides plus the TCAT from Calabogie to north bay (about 4 days and good for small and big bikes) and a 3 day round Algonquin park for proper dual sport bikes - both will include...
Bethany is a full day ride with gas / lunch in the middle. It's a fantastic route that I've posted in my GPS tracks thread here so we can run it anytime. When I have in the past, I'd blast all morning and get to Bewdly on the western shore of rice lake for fuel and lunch and have typically just...
That's an amazing offer Iceman, I may just take you up on it if I'm doing the Dacre. I need to figure out the timing and convince so,e friends to do it with me - most of them aren't keen on the idea of starting a fourteen hour single day ride at 4:00 am :)
Go go to the Kriega Canada site (links you to Angle Wings the Canadian distributor) and see who else carries Kriega closer to you. If you're in the market for a tool roll AND a hydration pack, consider the Klim nac-pack - it's got outstanding storage and a tool fold instead of a roll...
And by the way, I never bring a tube patch kit or plugs - plugs don't work on tubed tires and tube repair kits can be iffy and I just can't be bothered. A front 21" tube can work in a rear 18" in a pinch, it won't work the other way around and the spare that I bring is a regular tube, not a...
When I'm trail riding, I rarely ride alone due to the safety factor but it also depends on my proximity to civilization and the trail conditions - generally speaking though, I'm almost always riding with someone else.
As as for what I bring:
1- water, yes water. I wear a hydration backpack...
Nam, if you're really interested in a hammock let me know and you can check out my Grand Trunk Extreme Air Bivy - I've had luck finding great deals on them on Amazon.ca on occasion...
its a a fantastic and compact hammock.
