You should give some of the local trails a try...some be very difficult and fun...at the very least go around lost lake. Its as easy as the paved trails but you feel more attached to the area

Im in Toronto, Canada, would like to be Maelstroms Neighbor, but work and family wont allow... nor will my bank manager.

I ride mostly in the Don Valley its limited, but there is some decent semi technical XC. but its over ridden, which is too bad.

I never actually got a chance to ride in Ontario as I only started riding recently (last may). I plan to take a trip to Ontario with my bike just to give it a try. Always curious to see what my old homestead (Guelph area) offers besides some sweet bars

No never heard of it...

Oh and btw I am born and raised in Guelph ontario and moved to Whistler 3 winters ago...I ride mostly aggressive xc but am working on dj's, dh, trials and shore riding (I guess you could say light freeriding but that term is beginning to bug me). I love everything about cycling except non-technical runs

Commuting, fitness riding, riding to the gym and back, along the local riverpath, turbo training soon to monitor gains better.

Longer trips as fitness increases, and ass gets harder.

Kodiak Island Alaska.

Riding style would probably be called harsh XC. Beautiful place to ride.

For wheels I am in the process of aquiring a Stumpy FSR comp.

I'll have some good pics once everything greens up here.
