Video

Just rode this one and the section around Erin is closed, had to do some detours

Great video. This trail has been on my list of must - rides.

🇨🇦 it’s a great trail. One of my favourites. I see an accident happening with that post smack dab in the middle of the exit of the tunnel when the sun is bright in your eyes 🫣

I cycle long distance in a good pair of running shoes (touring not racing). Thin breathable ones for summer, and more solid ones for cooler weather. I have shoe covers for rainy days. Rather than look to the shoe to gain performance, i invested in kona wah wah 2 aluminium pedals. The full size provides a lot of leverage, and the pins give excellent grip. Would never go back to clack clack shoes again.

I agree with your comments on riding solo. I like meeting up with people at stops but riding by yourself is a mental vacation, plus you get to stop when/where you want, go at your own pace, and explore off route if something looks interesting. Solitary cycling is what i prefer for those reasons.

I found your channel a couple of days ago... I'm really enjoying your videos. I've derailed from the trail leaving Barrie and headed towards Orillia due to lack of adequate signage (or just chatting too much). BTW old guys like us deserve motel rooms. Keep the great videos coming.

Nice to see another Brit riding the G2G trial. I ride (mostly solo) segments of it pretty frequently and enjoy it immensely for all the reason you mentioned.

What a great ride. Love the drone shots. Wondering what brand and model that is.

I'm a 3D printer and designer and a biker myself. It wouldn't be hard or cost any more to add an outer skin to these, but we have to remember that the more expensive 3D printed saddles are printed using a Nylon Resin, whereas these cheaper ones are printed on a filament printer with TPU filament plastic honeycomb. But it's definitely always worth testing these prints! I know for a fact it would cost more than 34p to print it! The price they charge is to pay for the maintenance of these Carbon model printers that are used in the dental industry more than anything! I am about to Order this saddle to test for myself as got abit of a sore with my new mimic power yesterday

That looked like a great place to ride. At one time 2 of my sons used to race/ride as well. We'd enjoy a Sunday morning ride with no expectations but just to get some kilometres in our legs. I was pretty fit then so there was no problem with the pace. Fast forward 15 years, the sons are not conveniently close to me and most of my riding is alone. With cardiac issues and a tendency to get some tachycardia I prefer my own pace. Sometimes and ideal riding partner is hard to find.

Solo rider here for all the reasons you mentioned. In my dream scenario, I would socialize with people before a ride and after the ride. but the ride should be solo. Hasn't happened yet but I am hopeful.

I am the same, I much prefer a solo ride as pace and breaks are on me. I have done many small group, rides and enjoyed the company and experience but solo for me needs to be the majority. On a separate note, how is the insta working out? I bought one and my laptop crashes when I try to edit a larger file. Very frustrating!! Cheers Bob...

Thanks for sharing your ride on the G2G…will need to get out there sometime soon!

Am with you, love the quiet- birds

You take your meetups seriously, getting all dressed up for the occasion. Love the dress shirt. Cheers!!!

The lush growth along that stretch of the G2G is a huge plus, but the trail being an almost straight line for such a distance is a disincentive for me. You certainly enjoyed that, and it was a joy to watch.

Another great ride, thanks for taking us along.

Was a wonderful ride with you. And that stretch of trail (all bias aside) is my favourite.

I, like you, had no idea about that. Thanks for the video.

Have you noticed any wear on your bretelle due to the 3D printing format?

What is your sit bone width?

Hey I helped build the Guelph to Goderich rail trail. We managed to get the trestle bridge preserved.

I ride the Georgian Trail quite often (since I live in the area), beautiful... yes... road noise... not so great (in sections).

I would suggest volunteering at the races! Great way to stay part of the community you love until you are ready to race again!

There seem to be many listings for the Ryet 3D printed saddle on Ali. Is there a specific vendor you recommend or link you can provide. Many listings seem to be incredibly inexpensive for a 3D printed saddle. Thank you.

Sad that I haven’t cycled any of these. Must make s point to try. Really want to do the Brantford to Port Dover one.

When I went from friction type shifters on downtube to indexed gears many years ago I wondering about this. As if reading my mind, the guy at the bike shop explained it to me but he called it “feathering” which is quite descriptive.

2 months ago, I watched a similar review of a 3d printed saddle on aliexpress by the yt channel "everything's been done" who praised that saddle model similarly as you did with this one. So I obviously ordered it, but the second i sat down on my bike it was incredibly hurtful. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the edge around the middle cutout was raised about 1mm on the saddle I recieved, and that edge was stone hard unlike the rest of the material and cut into my bones. So it seems at least some aliexpress sellers might have multiple production lines with massivly varying quality and just aren't as reliable as official brands. I have to say though the return worked perfeclty although I even scratched the saddle, which made this aliexpress experience way less frustrating.

As a fellow cardiac Cyclist, who has done the Oville to Shelbourne quite a few times, you turned around before the worst of that trail, the part directly connecting to Orangeville. Its awful right at town, and slowly improves as you go north, until finally you reach about the point where you turned around and its fine from there. I wont ride that trail out of Oville anymore on anything less than a Fat tire e-bike since my heart issue. Really, the 2km at town is two tire ruts with 1-3 inch rocks..

Is the battery of Garmin Edge 830 replaceable? If so, then from where should I buy the battery, what should be the specification of the replacement battery and how do I replace the existing battery ?

Hi Andrew. Thanks so much for your video. It's very well done! I'm in the Haliburton area and it was nice to see Haliburton Rail Trail mentioned. You did say you could see snowmobiles and that is incorrect. The snowmobile association has complete control of the trail from December thru March and no other traffic is allowed during that period. Also you failed to continue down to Kinmount where the Victoria County Rail Trail takes over and continues all the way south to Lindsay with a slight jog around the town of Fenelon Falls. An absolutely gorgeous trail that is almost all packed limestone. Give it a try! Kinmount to Fenelon Falls is 30 kilometers one way. Thanks again for all these suggestions.

Is there places on the way to thornberry . Like swimming and beaches? Would love to go there and for a dip as well!

Try out Montreal to Ottawa

Give it 5 years and the front derailler will be gone. 1x all the way.

Didn't know it was called trimming but I use that all the time to make small adjustments on my front derailleur with Shimano 11sp Ultegra.

great video...we'll be up there in late July...quick question though...why is the map printed upside down?...Georgian Bay should be on top with the land portion on the bottom...looks silly this way...

Thanks for the reference for Red Panda, and btw I love the sunglasses !

Never heard of "trimming" on a bike, but then I have a 1x drivetrain.

If you are coming any further into Eastern Ontario, you need to let us know. We have some paths/trails for you, and might even be able to put you up.

The Bullocks, I think that's their name, haha, they're nice! I know a couple of guys who bought them to test from eBay and loved them. They're the same as the Specialized design and actually have different infills in different parts of the honeycomb! They're £96, but I ordered one myself to test out for £155.

Hey there Andrew. Thanks again for another video I so want to do this trail as I heard of it this winter. Cheers 🍻

Glad to hear you got to ride more of the Grey. Take care of your health and keep the great videos coming!

That looks like a great trail. It was good to have someone around to give you a bit of support too. I've got tubed tyres but I use Slime. Works well for small leaks and punctures.

Rails round or oval?

anyone used the 840 and knows if it fixes the issues?

Very nice, I'll have to add that to my bucket list. Did you ever find the cause of the lower pressure?

I really enjoyed your balanced approach and commentary, subscribed!

Great video Andrew. I love the K&P!

Sorry to see you had tire problems, but good to see you out on the beautiful K&P! Thanks for sharing!

Kudos to Nav.
