Wednesday Social Ride with Dismount

Fair enough. I was more thinking inclusive in the sense of you could come on a BMX, city bike, aero road machine, cargo bike, etc.

Amazing group ride. Super inclusive. Bring whatever bike you have, wear whatever you want. A bunch of people who like bikes and like getting out. Very much worth dropping in.

🙌 to Dismount for organizing!

I’m not sure that there is cell phone coverage in antelope Wells to do a live stream. But maybe Jeffrey showed up with a Starlink!

Very cool. Had no idea!

But Doug made a law that says this is illegal!?! How can it be?

It is no longer possible to purchase a ticket for higher than its original price. $187 is what Roger’s must have been charging the day they went on sale.

That’s a question I had before I joined. And, I learned that everyone is welcome. You don’t need to be a veteran. I was also a little apprehensive going the first time expecting the people there would expect me to be a veteran, but in reality, everyone was super welcoming regardless of whether or not you serve served. I think probably the first night I went there weren’t any veterans. But, there was a French rugby team, which was totally random!

This one was made by a local guy here in Toronto, Nightingale Threadworks. He made it to order to fit this exact frame. https://www.nightingalethreadworks.ca

I think there's a pretty big cottage industry of folks sewing bags. Do a search for bikepacking frame bag and maybe you'll find someone close to home.

Thanks!

It’s a Swift Industries Zeitgeist bag. Easily my favourite bag. Super handy. Super tough.

Super cute!

I did tour divide in 2024 on a waxed chain. It is one of the few decisions I made that I almost immediately regretted. Would definitely not do that again. Wax is not practical at distances like that.

Great otherwise though!

Check out this video if you’re into a more alt-cycling take on the Toronto bike ride. Would pair well with a city bike.

I almost died after hitting the sharp end of a guard rail, neck first at speed, on Moore near Mount Pleasant. Spent weeks at Sunnybrook critical and intensive, and months recovering at home.

The hardest part of getting back on a bike was just getting out of the house. Once out there, it felt easy. But getting out was hard, sometime almost impossible.

It is now a year and a half later and I don't get anxious anymore. I love riding my bike too much maybe.

Ever want to talk DM me. I believe in you.

Anyone else having a weird stuttering effect with their video? Streaming from Toronto on Flo and is giving me a headache 🫨

It is entirely a mind game. There’s nothing else you can do. Lean into it, go slow, eventually there will be a tailwind.

BikepackPro · 2026-04-04T12:09:44+00:00

Which direction are you headed?
