    We biked average mountain bikes from Port union rd and Lawrence Ave Scarborough to niagara 177 km total. Took us 12.5 hrs. Friend wanted to quit in Hamilton. Then it's a mind game. From the vineyards on it poured cats and dogs on us but we kept going w my phone in a zip lock clothes all drenched. It was more mental than physical. My previous max was 70km and I pushed 107km more. All in one day. Great accomplishment

    Good on you for knowing when to take a pause and choosing to continue the following day... most accidents can be prevented with some self awareness and sober appraisal of the situation.

    Nice Job! You should do it again this year :D as for your breaks, you can just, nudge it back to centre. If tht's still rubbing, widen it by using the adjustment barels. I have the same bike. I find that, running 32 mm stock tires on them tend to leave less room. I swap them over with 25mm

    Great job! I would love to see a follow-up video where you give us advice on things you would have liked to know before you made the trip. I have a few questions of my own for example, what percentage of the route is well sheltered from the wind? I want to do this route sometime close to the end of the summer, I'm doing 50K at a time for now I don't know how much is enough to feel ready.

    What a great ride! I’d like to know what app you used for navigation….and did you get lost at any point in the ride? I live in Toronto so I would be doing it the other way around if i do this ride.

    What route did you take? I'm going to gradually increase the amount I bike each day till I can do more than 40km a day if I really push it I bet I could do 60km. But I need to practice more I'd be really toddling along taking breaks in parks looking at everything

      Burlington to Grimsby is super flat and nice, after Grimsby it gets hilly in some spots. As far as tips go just check all your gear and don’t give up

    It’s dangerous to ride a bike one handed as you show sometimes. I’ve done it and fallen due to unexpected bump. Never again. Be safe everybody.
