Another Canuck
 

Greetings all, I just wanted to say hi/hello.
I'm typing this from work and still acheiving 100% performance, cause while nothing is broke:crash:, I'm peaking on efficiency. :D
You see I monitor internet and TV services here in the (Greater) Toronto Area.
When I'm not basking in the glow of the 120 TVs :sleep: , I can be found out on one of the many trails that dot the landscape around Toronto. :p
I am a mountainbiker. I own 3 steeds... a Blur :D , a steel reto-fitted singlespeed ;) , and a commuter bike that almost never commutes :( .

I can't promise to post offen, as I'm not super chatty; however I do promise to follow the rules and always speak my mind.

Cheers.

Well then, not super chatty? A man of few words?

:eek:

Marry me!

;)

Just kidding. Welcome to the forums!

Koffee

is canuck a bad word, a racist term?

If your a beer lovin :beer: , back-bacon eatin, toque wearin, hockey player...then no. Its a term of endearment.
Its also the name of a hockey team. As in the Vancouver Canucks. :p

hey zzyxzz, welcome. i'm a newbie here too.

I haven't been on any of the Toronto area trails for over 6 years now (lived in Peterborough for a while and stopped biking for a bit when I moved back to Toronto). Mostly I'm biking now as an alternative form of transportation, but I'm interested in getting back on the trails.

Where are the good ones these days? I used to ride the Don Valley trails mostly as they're the closest to me. And back when I rode a lot High Park still allowed bikes on trails, though I understand that's no longer the case.
Where would you recommend I ride?

Places to ride:
Albion Hills - just N of Bolton on Hwy 50
Kelso Conservation Area - in Milton (Hwy 401 W of Toronto)
Hilton Falls Conservation Area - in Milton (Hwy 401 W of Toronto)
Waterdown - in Waterdown (Dundas & Brant St)
Dagmar - N of Pickering/Ajax/Uxbridge
Durham Forest - N of that
Ravenshoe - NE of Newmarket
HardwoodHills - just N of Barrie
Mansfield - just NW of Aliston
Stoneycreek - the Hamilton/Dundas escarpment
Toronto - the Don

Cheers
