Crystal and Big Kahunas

Last day in the Soo new trails on the Crystal side, family loop, big air, broken dropper posts and mushroom finds, I did a quick repair on the trail side and got bucked a few times but did hang on. What a great last day to a cool trip.

Red Pine Trail System Hiawatha in the Soo

Today we were in the Red Pine side of Hiawatha, not only have the trail builders been busy on the new trails around Farmer Lake they have been adding trails on this side too, including a black trail that I love and a few repairs here and there. Crystal can fee like an English seaside town on a holiday weekend (busy) but you can ride this side and see know one. Jessica had less mushroom success today but did manage a green trail.

Hiawatha Farmer Lake, Swamp Donkey and maybe a Porcini Mushroom

The tale of a broken Wahoo, saddle and a Porcini Mushroom, this trail has a bad omen for us, last time Jessica got hurt, I had a big off before I started and then I set the record straight, at a cost!Swamp Donkey is worth the ride, Mushrooms everywhere and some home recording for a change. Sault St Marie is becoming the place to ride for sure.

Lake Laurentian Conservation Area (Sudbury Rocks)

Lake Laurentian Conservation Area is such a cool spot and the rock is grippy. We parked on Ida Access Road straight off the highway, It is 400 meters from the main road to the North or the South. If you're on a road trip to the North to ride bikes, you must stop here. it's cool. We had a great time, my best time was on Back 42 and the descent down to the parking lot. You can see it on our YouTube Channel. I think we could spend a whole day here. https://www.trailforks.com/map/?activitytype=1&z=13.2&lat=46.44838&lon=-80.96333 https://www.waldenmbc.ca

Waterdown Trails

Not far from Highway 6 and the 403 this little gem of a trail system is easy to access from Walmart's car park. A lot of blue, a few green and even some red and black trails. Easy link to Kerncliff where there is a small downhill trail. You get to cross a cool railway line, it looks like BC, not Ontario a few moments away from the Highway. We parked in the residential area, we decided not to share this exact location, You can figure it out if you look at Trailforks.

Arkell Spring Ground

So we went to Arkell Spring Ground and Starkey Hill today. We also visited Flow State Cafe and Bike Shop https://www.flowstatebikeco.comWe had a great day though with some challenges. Parking here https://www.trailforks.com/region/arkell-spring-grounds/?activitytype=1&z=14.8&lat=43.55048&lon=-80.15703 England Arkell here https://www.arkells.com From the Arkells website John Arkell was a remarkable man. Born into a farming family in 1802 in Kempsford, South Gloucestershire, he emigrated to the New World in his late twenties and took with him a group of local people who sought a refuge from the tough conditions endured by agricultural folk at that time. It was a brave step. They arrived in Canada and established the small community of Arkell - which still exists today - but three years later, John returned for love. His fiancée preferred to live in England so he came home to marry and set up a home in Stratton St Margaret, near Swindon, where he grew barley on his farm.

Lobster Mushrooms & Lions Mane in the Durham Area

Actual ride around East Duffins Headwaters and Norton Tract also known as Walker Woods. We found Lobster and Lions Mane today in the woods. Lobsters are hard to spot despite being lobster coloured. These woods are a lovely place to just go ride and not have to think too much about what's under your wheels. Also, less people if you want to just have some peace away from the send-it crowd.

Christie Lake

Christie Lake near Dundas today. It looked like it rained much more than we thought it did. Great trails here for all levels and one-directional trials.

Hollidge Tract and Eldred King Woodlands York Regional Forest

York Regional Forest, Hollidge Tract, and King Woodlands. are part of the York Forest Region https://www.york.ca/environment/forests/york-regional-forest It was such a great day, All access trails, Lung Oysters and friendly people. We started here https://www.trailforks.com/trails/accessible-trail-382124/It is a very relaxed and nice place to go for a ride, I also think if it was raining it could be a great place to visit.
