Video

I’m concerned about the video resolution quality. This video was painful to watch.

Chest hrm better for tracking intervals

Awesome ride, we recently mapped out this ride for our next trip up to the County. Curious as to where you parked? Did you park at the brewery? And do they let the general public park there or do you recommend somewhere else to park?

best place to find owls in the winter!

Moving back after 50 years....I'm disgusted to see how the unneeded and ugly wind turbines have ruined the look of the rustic landscape.

Hi! Can you share the strava link for the route or on other site? Thanks

Thanks for the tour Steve. I've sailed around Amherst Island but never set foot on it.

Thank you Steve. Great suggestion for a ride.

Kingston is a great place to live (if you can find a vacancy).

This was really helpful. While bike touring the Olympic Peninsula I plan to head up to BC to see my sister in Sooke. I was curious if the Galloping Goose trail was bikeable since I plan to ride from the ferry terminal to Sooke. Your video answered that question and has me excited for that part of the trip! Thanks!

Are you using the Garmin Explore 2?

Thanks for the great video. I u derstand that this connects to the Ottawa Valley Trail and the K & P Trail for atotal of 580km. Are there any GPX FILES that tie these together?

I took that bike trail a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, as you can see @0:30, they put the trail on the wrong side of the highway for cyclists. As you go a little further you see why. Highway 2 blocks the view of much of the Thousand Islands because the bike trail is sunk a few feet lower than the highway, so your view is mostly blocked as you cycle along. What could they have been thinking?

Thanks for your lovely video. I'm planning Galt to Paris then to Brantford and on to Burlington this weekend. I just got back from a 5 day all over Montreal tour and area and it was fantastic. Probably covered about 600 km in the 5 days. Montreal has many dedicated bike trails throughout the city. And lots of bridges to cross. Really worth going!

Mountain lake looks nice.

I lived in Kingston for 14 years and loved everything from Prince Edward County to Brockville and up to Frontenac Park. That was very nostalgic for me, Thankyou!

I have done that trail twice. Last time was last August. Both times from gan to brockville and back. Great trail and great way to spend a day.

That is also one of my favorite places to bring the bikes . My wife's preference is to start at Brown's Bay to Landon Bay and back like you said prevailing winds. Enjoy the ride . Smiles per miles

I go for an external speaker so as to always aware of my surroundings but also have music to ride with

That's one of my favorite rides to do.

I live in Duncan and ride these tails on a regular basis, some of the best trails anywhere... Great video Thanks.

How many kms total was this ride? Looks really fun never explored that point in the County.

Nice video. Is there any camping on this trail or the K and P trail that makes up the loop with the Ottawa Valley Trail?

One of the best trails in Ontario!

How many kilometers for this loop?

Hello Steve! I watched your video. Congratulations on successfully transmitting high-quality audio from the Lark M2 to the DJI Osmo Action 4 camera. I also have a Lark M2 mic and recently bought an Action 4 camera. I couldn’t directly connect the receiver with the C-type phone connection to my Action 4 camera. How did you manage this? I could only connect the camera receiver using a C-type to C-type cable. I can't directly connect the receiver we use for the phone. It doesn’t fit properly into the camera's slot. Did you use a cable or something else in between to make it work? Thank you for your help.

Thanks Steve. Stay fit and curious.😊

Thanks for the tour Steve. I am on my way..😊

Nice combo 👌

We will be out there next week hopping to get this one in and the big island loop in as well but first we’re off to Smith Falls to get in a few sections of the OVR and Cataraqui trail.

Nice summary. I am considering purchasing the Varia RTL515 unit. I use MapMyRide app to track my route and provide stats. I understand the app will not function in the background so this means I cannot use MapMyRide with the Varia app open? However I also wear a Garmin watch. Would I be able to sync the watch to the Varia unit independently of the app so I receive vibration notices a vehicle is approaching or must I have the Varia app open on my phone for the watch to vibrate. With the watch notice, I would just check my mirror to confirm. No real need to have the Varia app open if I don't need to.

Nice review of this combination. Living in the tropics I was having over-heating issues with my GoPro. Bought a DJI Action 4 and in 6 months it has never had heating issues. Just picked up the Lark M2 combo and I'm real impressed with the sound quality. Haven't figured out how to connect it to my macbook for voice over yet, but I can always just record the voice over as video on my phone and detach the audio in edit.

Great videos, being a London guy, I love seeing your videos about the trails in the Kingston area, going to try some of them this summer. If you come back to London in the summer of 25 you’ll be able to take the London trail all the way east without any detours once you leave downtown the trail follows the river for another 8 km to the far east end but there’s so many construction detours this year.

Thumbs up! Great ride.

I like the trail. I bike from the Dalton Ave entrance all way to Harrowsmith and cut to the cataraqui trail and go to Sydenham. It's a nice little town and has places to lock up your bike if you wish/ need to go into any of lovely stores there.

Excellent trail review. Beautiful nature. Very important reptile habitat. Lots of snakes and turtles. Ive seens lots of Rat Snakes.

Can you use a Apple Watch and get the vibration alert on the Apple Watch or do you have to use a garmin watch Thanks in advance Great review

Even though I have quibbles with the way the trails get lost in Brantford, I do recommend doing the Paris to Hamilton stretch. Ironically, the best part is the TH&B Trail into Ham. Getting through Brantford: The first time I did it was probably the easiest and best (I've done it over twenty times over a ten year span) and into Brantford from a number of directions, twice from Port Dover, an incredible trail, and the most intuitive way to do is is on the south side of the Grand. Have a map or a navigation system. The downside to ending up or starting from Port Dover is the lack of transit options, whereas Brantford, Cambridge and especially Hamilton have GO bus (Ham also trains) options so that you don't have to retrace your route. Cambridge to Paris is as good as it gets in Southern Ontario for trails, I thought I was in heaven first time doing it.

It’s always a great ride when you get a nice cold beer!

Christine might like cycling around Amherst island. Its flat, and water views the whole way

Is the video of the trail ride sped up? If not, you are going way to fast on the trail, man. Way too fast. You could cause a serious accident at those speeds. Try to keep it 20kph or less. Turn down the boost

Looks like a beautiful and quiet ride. Would my 700x 32 tires be fine or do I need larger ? Knobby or smooth tread ? I also want to ride the Cataraqui in part. Which section would you recommend for an 80 km ride return. ? Thanks.

Very nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍5

I love the K&P Trail. That section at Division St and John Counter reminds us that part of the trail is in Kingston, the worst cycling city imaginable.

Good for you! Most guy’s are age don’t take on mountain bike trails. I’m starting to lean more to the ebikes.

I was just about to make the round trip myself from Picton to Kingston. If you're on a bike, I presume you are guaranteed a spot on the fairy when it's busy - unlike those with cars.

Excellent ride, thank you.

We loved this trail ! and we liked how many places you can pull over to grab a quick bite to eat - or drink a glass of wine if you are so inclined!

Thanks Steve for posting this - we've done Sydenham to K&P lots - but I think we will head east and do an overnight at opinicon and make it a fun weekend!! PS. you can speak pretty well at that speed!
