Thank you for sharing Ottawa's treasure & Gatineau Park. As a local Ottawa resident and cycling enthusiast, I totally agree that gravel is the future of cycling, drawing more people to the sport. Just need more organized gravel events locally (spring, summer, fall) which would attract even more people into the gravel scene. Look forward to watching more vlogs from your channel. Cheers & all the best...🙂
Hello , new subscriber here because I just found your channel . Love it . Thanks . Now I can binge watch to catch up with your videos. Mark from Maryland
Enjoyed watching that, thank you. That’s the kind of ride for me. Many of my rides lately are mixed surface on my dirt drop bike, 70-80% off road, the rest paved to get to and from the dirt. Love riding on forest roads, double track, and some single track. I find myself riding my dirt drop bike or gravel bike much of the time, and mountain bike less often.
great vid and chat! Love that others are grabbing onto the atb movement. I wouldn't say it's a trend more so an awareness of what always has been and recapturing the imagination of where a bike can take us.
I don't own a cyclocross or a gravel bike per say in my collection, but I do have things that seems to fit the definition for what the bike industry and bikepacking marketing managers in particular want to be classifying as all terrain bicycles but then basically any classic 80s or early 90s mountain bike (even the original ones called All Terrain Bikes) seems to be what the bike industry is trying to re-invent the look and style of while bringing back the old ATB name. Granted prior to 1990 the only suspension came in the form of a Brooks saddle, a dropper post involved a Hite-Rite spring and the best brakes involved a mechanical cam for your rim brake, or a drum hub, but still, a 1984 Rocky Mountain Fat City Flyer could still easily do the ATB'ing thing today. The trails you road in this video largely have not changed at all in the past thirty plus years and there's tons of trails like that throughout the region and really across the country. What's old is new again as the saying goes.
Totally! I think the beauty of “all terrain bicycling” is it can really be any bike. Just depends on how much you want to under/over bike in some cases. Thanks for watching!
@@bike.breath Also a tip for the strap wrapped around hub... next time try pulling the front axle and drop the wheel out of the fork. Its basically the same procedure for chains that jam between the cogset and spokes. All sorts of colorful language if you try and pull it out by hand but drop the wheel and poof its out in seconds.
great vidio and I agree all Terrain is the way to go with the fact that now you can get the new tanus armor for almost any tire you can use road bikes for gravel and etc
Thanks! I used a GoPro 10 and a Fujifilm X-T4 with two lenses. Both cameras were strapped to my (Brendan) torso, the tripod was in my bike’s basket, and the extra lens in a bike bag. It’s a bit ridiculous looking and I need to switch to using a camera bag!

Thanks for the kind words! And thanks for sticking around! We’re excited to share some more cycling videos very soon.

Thanks for sharing! Agreed, there’s something really fulfilling about a limitless adventure with a simple bicycle!

Love that way of looking at it! A return to the adventurous roots of cycling!

good vibes love the footage
Thanks for watching!
Top notch content, really enjoyed it start to finish!
Thanks so much!
"Prision trails" aka Jail Trail! That's what we call it at least. Has more of a ring to it. Nice ride and video!
Hah! Jail Trail is great. And thank you!
Really enjoyed this, and well done as usual. Done this ride x times and will be nice to watch again esp late winter to get psyched up again for GP.
Nice! It’s a great ride, we especially enjoy trail 15. I’m happy we can help with the winter break!
Nice video Buddy
Thank you very much!
great vidio and I agree all Terrain is the way to go with the fact that now you can get the new tanus armor for almost any tire you can use road bikes for gravel and etc
Thanks, and agreed! It’s even more accessible now with products that can help convert bikes to be more gravel friendly.
Awesome video guys thanks for sharing
Thanks for taking the time to check it out!
Beautiful! What camera gear did you ride with here and how'd you pack it?
