Trash Panda - Don Valley MTB

[@rxckyiskuul6829]

Have you ridden this trail recently? I have cleaned the entire trail but always have to walk the section at 0:43 because it looks washed out (in person) and there's like a small crater in the dirt after the blue pipes. I'm not really concerned with not making it up, just that if I send it the front wheel might lift causing a back flip of sorts. Any specific line to take or just go for it with speed and weight on the front wheel?

Yeah I rode it recently and it is now a little harder to get up the other side. I actually started using a shortcut on the left before the 2nd bridge that bypasses that g-out, since the bridge was under repair. Unfortunately I don’t have any tips on how to get up the other side, but will share if I try it out

My favorite trail in the Don. The first time I got to the big hill a couple of years ago I had to sit there for like 2 or 3 minutes talking myself into doing it. Once you've done it, it's not that bad LOL.

[@WhatTheTrail]

Yeah I agree, it took many tries of staring at it, but now I can ride it.

Hope to ride along with you, Canyon bike owner here as well from Toronto. Nice content though

[@WhatTheTrail]

[@donofthedonmtb]

I think I asked this before, but I do not know on what video. How do you get the trail info on the video? Also, the speed, etc? I have not seen anyone else do this and it is great.

[@WhatTheTrail]

Thanks! I use my garmin computer to record the ride and then use garmin virb software to overlay the ride file to the gopro footage. After that is complete I just edit the video on Davinci Resolve :)

[@RonanMesa]

Great video - how do you put all the details on the video - speed,heart rate etc.

[@WhatTheTrail]

Thanks! I export my garmin .fit file and use Garmin Virb software to overlay the stats to my gopro video. I then use Davinci Resolve to edit the video.

Tough but fun ride it appears.

[@WhatTheTrail]

One of the best trails in the Don :)

[@nostr8ghtlinzs596]

that was a really steep climb, good stuff!

[@alvaroguai]

Nice video, I am new here in Toronto. To get those trails the poni start is from the place called the three ? I was looking for donaconda and catalysts. Or from loblaws? Thanks

[@WhatTheTrail]

Thanks! I haven’t ridden donaconda so not sure where the entrance is. For catalyst you can enter via Topo or via Beaver Flats, you can see it in Trailforks, the link is in the description. Hope thst helps!
