Don Valley Bike Trails: Catalyst Winter Ride

[@stuvie]

bravo on clearing every tough climb in those conditions

[@mensuddevic8983]

Excellent as always 👌 👏 👍

[@johncandy2839]

I love your videos. Get back on the bike bruv

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

Appreciate that! Lots of riding just not filming. I have some plans for more content coming soon now that summer is here.

[@MikeB-qz3ky]

Great videos, love the rides in the Don, GoPro effect is definitely real, those sketchy sections look easy on camera

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

Yeah for sure. The snow really mellows out the contours of the trail also.

[@5beve68]

Nice one! I think you had a bit more grip with studs than I did without em !

[@thehigsy]

Haven't got our ice Spyker on yet, Haven't really needed them up in Durham forest yet

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

Yeah I imagine the trails there would be better on a fat bike

[@kamac1980]

Crazy to hit that topo section in those conditions! You running schwalbe ice spikers? The are amazing once the trail packs down and freezes.

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

Yes i'm running the ice spiker pro. Great tires for winter riding!

[@camster895]

What's you're route here? Party Atmo after, or Sky Pilot?

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

On this day I did part of party atmosphere until the bottom of the climbing section, then turned back south along beaver flats

[@TheDNLTEEN]

Were you riding a Pivot at the Don today? I think you passed me on trash panda and at the end of climbax

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

No wasn’t me! I’m currently riding a silver Norco Revolver HT. See you out there!

[@TheDNLTEEN]

@@AdventureTrailsTO you didn’t like the full sus Revolver?

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

@@TheDNLTEEN it’s really nice. I stIll have it and the plan is to make it more “Trail” oriented with it being a 120mm bike. Put some slightly beefier tires on it etc. Then I’ll have the hardtail as a traditional “go fast” xc bike to ride around on.

I was going to copy and paste my "needs more snow" comment, but I've never even made the opener climb on Catalyst with more than 2" of snow. I've never seen it packed either, not enough traffic.... Maybe this is the year?

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

It seems like your wish for more snow has come true! need some more snowshoers in there now.

[@shauntakata1762]

Is that with spikes?

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

Yes - Schwalbe ice spiker pro
