Me and my two good friends tackle the "COLT" or Central Ontario Loop Trail with our fatbikes. Shout out to Miles Arbour for helping to inspire this trip. See his detailed blog at www.bikepacking....
Amazing video.thanks for sharing . I feel like I bumped into you 3 years ago outside a mac's Milk(near windsor) I was starting my first tour...and you had a couple questions. If it was you. Wow what a small world.!! Again. Great film motivate me to do this ride. .wish you lots of tail wind.!!
I am thoroughly enjoying your videos, new to RU-vid. I am busy training for my 9th Ironman but also enjoy camping, fat-biking, fishing, etc. You’ve inspired many a new trip for me now. Thank you and keep the videos coming!
Getting stoked for this summer!!!!! I plan on doing my first of many bike packing adventures😆 My dream is to take 2weeks off to bike pack from Edmonton to Vancouver. Early spring has been forecasted, let’s get it 🤘🤘
Great channel, Scott! After watching you and Joe Robinet camp I had to check your channel out...love it! This adventure is incredible. I love the scenery with the salmon going upstream. My bike is sitting in the backyard under a tarp...think I need to trade it in for a fatboy.
Just watched the whole thing. Nice idea to include screen grabs at the start! I also love the DIY flatbed bike rack! Lucky to have seen that salmon migration. So rad. Too bad about the raccoons on your Revelate bag! Been there. Really paranoid about not hanging food now. :) Looking forward to Part 2!
I'm liking the hastings heritage trail section. Looking to do it with the wife possibly in august or September towing my kid in a trailer. Would you say this is possible with a trailer? Is there crown land for camping on the hastings section?
The rail trail sections are very well maintained and towing a trailer would not be a problem. During our whole trip the only chance or place to camp on crown land was the one time we did it next to the lake. It was just lucky that we came across a clearing because its thick bush all along the trail.
Agreed I am thinking of getting a Fatbike would love to hear your thoughts see your gear. I have 20 acres of land at 4600ft on the side of Mt. Annie here in Washington state. It is 6 miles to where my Mailbox will be(where the paved maintained roads end), mostly goat paths and wagon trails to get there lol. I am thinking a Fatbike would be a good option for me.
Beautiful sceneries. I had never seen salmon going up to spawn. I am not familiar with that area of Ontario. I have driven through Ontario many times on my way back and forth from the east coast to the west coast. I occasionally stopped in little towns and big cities but never did any camping. Those fat tire bikes look awesome. You guys are well equipped. What was that powder for the water bottles? Good advertising for Aquafina with that bottle on the table. Mike look some good. And... I was curious about Nakee Butter and went on line to find out more about it. I believe I can introduce it into my keto lifestyle. I just need to find out if I can buy it at "Au Grain de Blé", a health food store in my area. If not, I will order it on amazon. Great video.
Boys... awesome video. I’m from Hamilton and have considering next spring/ summer doing a province wide ride on my fatty, just need to pick up some gear, but definitely going to do some overnight trips this winter. If you guys are ever in the area, let me know! I’d love to join.
Great video. For that ride i would be happy with no more than 700 x 38c tyres, for a gravel ride. Much more efficient. But hey, you would have burnt plenty of calories with those fat tyres lol.
Hi guys, great video and adventure! Can you tell me what brand of camp chair you guys are using? I've always used the thermarest conversion but I like that yours kept you off the ground. Thanks!
The actual black metal rack is a basic EVO. Its solid. The blue panniers are from Ortieb. They are the the back-roller classic. I highly recommend them. I'm very impressed with them. And I am not easy on my gear.
Drenalin Adventures I was thinking about taking a trip like this with my family, I'm in Kitchener/Waterloo area so maybe stopping at a few more stops. There's a really good cheese factory in prince Edward county that I would highly recommend. There's one called black creek but I can't remember the name of the place I'm talking about. That whole area is beautiful
I guess it depends on the bike trailer. I would not have been able to pull a bike trailer on that trip. My ability may be different from yours. If I had to give you advice on the topic I would say to not use one if you were considering this trip. Thanks for your comments. Cheers.
Drenalin Adventures the guitar stuff sounded like it could have been done live, sounded good. You need to find a few musician friends, Homers love to hear their stuff on videos and there are plenty of super talented Homers ;) cheers great video too, thought I’d add that :)
Me too :-) I use the channel "Audio Library - No Copyright Music" as well - their music seems a little fresher and unique. Hopefully you might like to take a look. Thanks again, great adventures!
I can never understand you spend x number of, in my case U.K pounds/ dollars to lay your bikes on the ground how about investing a few dollars on a kick stand.
That sounds great in theory but NO high end bikes have/or should have kickstands. There are many reasons why. I love my bikes but they are tools used for a job and will get scratched. Cheers.
Wow I would like to know the reasons why not to have kick stands? I must admit its 43 years since I was last in the saddle so things have changed a lot in that time, I am 59 now and only started to ride again a few weeks ago.
@@mikelees5093 The kick stand can get in the way of things. It rattles around when going over bumps. If you have disc brakes like these bikes, the kick stand will probably not work as the positioning of the stand will have to be forward, which will result in an unbalanced kick stand. There are plenty of reasons why.
