    118 in the Bracebridge Area

    Had the day off and went riding in Muskoka. 118 east of Bracebridge is beautifully freshly paved black asphalt....right up until about 7 km from Carnarvon (just east of Bobcaygeon Rd) where it turns into alternating grooved pavement and hard pack dirt/gravel. Enjoy!

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot? Norinco 1911-A1 is a decent very, very economical pistol. Picked one up used for $300 all in. Great shooter.

    Noob getting bored, happened to anyone ?

    Maybe you need a bike you're more comfortable sitting on. Have you tried taking the back roads to the forks of the credit river? There's also Twiss road and Cedar Springs Road from 15th sideroad

    Noob getting bored, happened to anyone ?

    it's the kind of riding you're doing: puttering around, commuting to visit friends, etc. As others have already mentioned, riding around in traffic gets boring fast. The problem with staying in Toronto is that the roads within Toronto are pretty lousy, interest wise. To find anything...

    ...also, if you're new to the area, remember: it is illegal to cross the double yellow line down there.

    Disc lock alarms

    There is nothing that will give you piece of mind. A bike with a disc lock can be picked up and shoved into a mini-van. Your best bet is a very heavy case hardened chain with a ground anchor (look into what Almax has to offer). Even then, an portable angle grinder can cut through it within a...
