Great riding achievement. I did a similar solo bike ride last August 2022 before I turned 60 years old, from North York at 7:00 a.m to Niagara Falls for 174 kilometers with an elapsed time of 8 hours and 53 minutes. The route I took was Lakeshore , North Service Road to Niagara On The Lake route. It was an enjoyable solo ride and I plan to do it again in 2024. My longest solo round trip in 1 day was from Ottawa to Brockville, Ontario and back for 215 kilometers with an elapsed time of 10 hours and 26 minutes.
Thanks for the information, around 54 and plan to do it. Hope this year, need to protect my knee, so I need to go slowly. From North York what route do you take?
I've lived in the Niagara Region my whole life and honestly didn't even know you could actually bike from T.O. to N.F. I of course recognized most of the places you visited but especially the N.O.T.L to the Falls ride. Looks like a very fun trip
This was a highly entertaining video. While I know you aren’t the first person to make this type of vlog nor will be the last, your edits, song choices, and monologues mesh well together to give this more of a “cinematic” feel to it. Great job!
Nice. The section from Niagara on The Lake to Niagara Falls is especially good. Picturesque and on a bike path by the river. It is a flat ride with only one brief uphill section by Brock's Monument at Queenstown. An easy climb with modern bike gearing.
Great video! Different route than mine. I did this a couple of years back on my Felt Nine 70 mountain bike. I have eosinophilic asthma, and I took longer than you, not surprising. 😂 But happy I made it, 163 km that day. Hoping to do it again this August 2024.
@@vladkabanets8186 cheers Vlad! I should 10k total km on this bike later this year (after ~4 years) so maybe I’ll treat myself to a road bike after that milestone, lol.
This was such a good video! Going to be doing this ride myself soon too, now looking forward to it more! How long did the ride take in total? What time did you actually make it to the falls?
@@fintanmsharpe Oh, you’ll enjoy the ride for sure! Good luck. Regarding the time, it took us about 12-13 hours, but we were not rushing at all: we had numerous 20-30 mins stops along the way. I’m pretty sure it can be done much faster if it’s the goal. But we wanted to enjoy the ride, not just to complete it.

100%! We were pretty tired there though, was hard to enjoy it all, but you’re right- that part is the most beautiful.

Agree, the most difficult part is the Hill before Brock's Monument just before Niagara. Do you back to Toronto in the train as I can see.
@@luissalazar6960 yeah, we planned the return with the GO train. We would not do same distance on bikes again 😅
Awesome job!
Unreal 😮

nice video! have you done the niagara bike loop? I think it's about 170km as well.
Thanks Dallin! No, I have not been at the Niagara with my bike since this video. Is this loop worth it?
How long did it take?
About 12 hours with all food and rest stops
like to do a long ride this month bro?
Any time bro :)
@@vladkabanets8186 when let me know , I'm in malton rt now

@@Arjun1234 I built the route using app Komoot, and then transferred it to my Garmin watch.
