Why the Don has the MOST FUN MTB TRAILS in Southern Ontario

[@rxxxe6174]

Appreciate videos like this, been in the city for about a year and just got a bike recently but didn’t know we had trails like this, good video!

[@livinfullsend]

Great video, my son and I are in love with Don Valley.

[@jaimecristalino]

Awesome video! Keep doing it! The Don Valley trails are sick man!

[@andrewnitu]

thank you for the support!

[@rated89]

Your bro got the '21 Honzo 😍 I'm waiting for mine from Sweet Pete's. Pre-ordered in October 2020.

[@davespadafora]

Good video of the Don👍

[@CyclingAroundToronto]

don't give up on clearing that climb at 4:56, great video btw!

[@monteman59]

Thanks for sharing 👍

[@lyanreindecker]

Seriously I can never clean that root section on the climb at 4:56 either. Right is definitely the track though. What tail are those three jumps on?

[@Zee-rq7vk]

Do you have a map where all the entrance of the trail?

[@goldenretriever6261]

I started riding in the Don in the late 80s. Most of the trails weren't even broken in yet then.

[@oneword7143]

I'm so curious to see what they looked like back in the 80s-90s. What were the main trails back then?

[@andrewnitu]

A true trendsetter!

[@Albani-Imaging]

how do you enter the Trash panda trail ?

[@JoeC92]

Is this all by that parking area just off Don Mills? Just north of the DVP on ramp?

[@crhayes]

Nice Trance X, picked up the same bike last September (luckily). What is the name of the first trail?

[@andrewnitu]

looks like it might be "pottery road to 3 rocks" yeah, that's a lucky pickup! the shortage is insane rn

[@jfmmccoll9189]

I live in Ajax, where can I enter these runs. And park my car. Txs fj

[@Chefi_]

Hi i bought my giant trance x at 3 weeks, what is your meaning at this bike. Sry for my english i am from germany :)

[@noiseshapes]

When it comes to the 'bunny run' which way is easier? I went the opposite way and I had a hard time with the woopty doo, and the last climb at the end of the cliff section, and in both situations is very sketchy to not make it all the way. Is it a bit easier the way you went which is towards the archery park?

[@andreyv116]

Yeah the climb-in and the section with the dip are rough when under-biked

[@Bike4adventure]

There are a lot of trails that are not flat near Toronto lol. Ontario has some significant hills and trail systems. Visit Trailforks to find some.

[@SirCamsmorethanalot]

I didn't see the straight up vertical wall that you need to take a huge run at to get up. It's about 10' high and straight up.

[@pinkeshchandnani6219]

Hey can someone please share the location for parking to enter the trail?

[@b00mski]

You can park at Loblaws Redway to enter the 3 rocks->Sanitation Plant->The Ridge or Park at Wilket Creek Parking #2 and you'll be in the middle of everything.

[@carstoniu]

that skinny was amazing, you looked like a big vibrator haha i cant believe you made it.. lets ride sometime im like 5 min from the pottery road entrance⛰

[@nickvanherk2292]

I’m thinking hard pass on trash panda but what we’re the other trails earlier in the vid?

[@andrewnitu]

I just kind of followed my friend, but looking on Trailworks it looks like we rode Pottery Road to 3 Rocks which was the first run in this video, super fun. Some other classics are Motown and Roller Flowster. Honestly though I just recommend having a phone in your bag (in case you get really lost) but just going around randomly. It's super fun just to make your own loop through the Don

[@gervaciosantosiii2552]

What bikes are you running? Sick video

[@andrewnitu]

thanks for the support! running a 2021 Giant Trance X 29 2. I will post an updated bike check soon

[@alwinlee5864]

Can I ride pretty much all these trails with an XC bike?

[@andrewnitu]

Yeah definitely. Would recommend an XC bike in fact haha

[@alwinlee5864]

@@andrewnitu do you regard buying a trail bike ? I just bought a trail bike recently and wasn't sure if I made the right choice.

[@andrer3764]

@@alwinlee5864not the person you asked but noticed no one replied. I’d say you made the right choice too. IMO if you’re not doing any competition and don’t care if the climbs are a bit harder a trail bike will give you more “all around” usage. You won’t get the high travel of an enduro and fast descents of an enduro, you won’t get the climbing prowess of an XC… but you’ll climb better than the enduro and descend better than the XC. Also these days bikes kind of blend a lot so I wouldn’t worry too much

[@rippinmachines]

What is your camera and mic setup? good stuff

[@andrewnitu]

it's just a GoPro Hero 9 with the built-in mic. Definitely needs a windmuff for next time tho :p Thanks!

[@spikeyfishvids]

what trail was it that had those 3 jumps back to back?

[@b00mski]

Woods Gundy - jump the gundy

[@red426]

Lol! I always get stuck same spot on that climb.

[@andrewnitu]

it's a tough one for sure ;)

[@satwikmunshi7414]

🔥🔥

[@donsmith2833]

30 minutes away? Everything in Toronto is an hour away :)

[@neko_of_death6774]

6:32 I would be going so fast down that

[@markyhzhang]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@solobellimino2356]

The Don sucks, don't go there

[@andrewnitu]

;)

[@benbishop3111]

what is better? asides from lift access

[@CyclingAroundToronto]

if you're looking for crappy trails check out the Don...
