Don Valley Bike Trails: Moartown to Noodle Doodle

[@johnbije]

Wow..that seems so easy for you!!man i almost passed out riding that trail the other day!!lol

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

It's a fun trail! getting faster everyday as more people ride it.

[@katherinecarl-musson3070]

You’re back out! 🚴 great ride

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

Some say he never left... but if it isn't on video does it even count?

[@arneilson4450]

Moartown is an amazing addition to Motown. I found Noodle Doodle a few weeks ago as well (not on Trailforks for some reason) and it is surprisingly fun!

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

So good! it's really starting to get worked in and riding pretty quick. Check out the Kitchen Sink trails if you haven't already, those are pretty fun and technical also.

[@arneilson4450]

@@AdventureTrailsTO Thanks. On that same ride I rode Hidden Fortress and Ketchin' Hell. Really awesome. So old school with a lot of tech and exposure. My only wish was the they worked better in a loop. Really fun to still discover new trails year after year.

Damn you ate both of those up easyyyy. You got my sub. Any recommendations on some flowy trails for a beginner-intermediate hardtail rider?

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

Thanks Dino! I would suggest boo trail, beaver flats then training loop in that order. Those are quieter trails to practise on. After you feel comfortable with that try “the ridge” which is the main city funded trail starting at loblaws.

[@SuperTrammel]

Thanks for the video! But I'm confused. This is off the N/E end of Motown? That end of Motown goes down some switchbacks (or you can dive-bomb it down) into a little newly grassed area with the nearly finished city's fancy footbridge. If you go right, you can hike your bike around the fence, then cross the railroad tracks to Dr. Quads, etc. Where this video starts doesn't look anything like that area. For Moartown, are you turning left before the switchbacks that go down to the footbridge? Towards Linkwood Lane / Flemingdon golf course? Thanks again!

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

This is right at the end of Motown. It's exactly where you are describing, so instead of dive bombing down at 0:31 keep left as if you are riding the switchbacks down but instead keep looking up and you will see the trail veers off left of the switchbacks right at 0:34, which is where Moartown begins.

[@SuperTrammel]

@@AdventureTrailsTO Awesome. I can see where it forks now right at :34. Thanks!

[@BigDiesel4110]

Great start to the morning! Moar videos plz!

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

Was fun to get back into the filming! Moar vids to come for sure!

[@datooriyaz1]

Please consider starting all your videos on describing where the trail head is located and where people can park their cars to get to these wonderful trails. Trailfork only works for 7 days and we need someone to take the time to let us know how to find these gems

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

That’s an interesting idea. I think that could be a good video in itself showing all the known access points and trail heads.

[@SuperTrammel]

Trailhead for Motown is right about here, on east side of paved path goo.gl/maps/TxMDJJpQP7NKKRDh9. There's a parking lot about 200m due south, accessed off Don Mills Road. Motown is maybe 20-30 min ride. Ends around here goo.gl/maps/KVbTbhvYaEJD4uuX7. New trail shown in video starts about 100m from that end point near top of the hill.

[@5beve68]

Yeah, the trail after the bridge is still noodle doodle. Great video!

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

Perfect! good to know. I like that section of trail as it has those high speed bridges.

[@stewartleese5052]

Great video. I've never ridden the DON. Where can you park?

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

The loblaws parking lot at redway rd is the best spot

[@stewartleese5052]

@@AdventureTrailsTO thank you. Maybe see you on the trails one day.

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

@@stewartleese5052 Absolutely Stewart! see you out there. Cheers

[@iancai5]

Youre back :)

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

You know it! Good to be back :)

[@edleong5522]

I dont see the trail in Trailforks. Does it start North of the bridge west of the rail tracks?

[@AdventureTrailsTO]

It would be south of the train bridge and west of the tracks. If you can see Motown on trail forks, then you know Moartown will start right at the end.
