Heya,

Oversized Kudos to Tiago and his friends riding the whole SCL, 170K on fatbikes yesterday. You are an inspiration.

Btw SCL doesnt stand for “smiles changes Lives” as was suggested, but that buttertart adjacent Simcoe County loop.
so many acronyms one needs to understand. COLT, BT700 what have you, its almost we want to keep this a special in the know club.

So this weekend we keep it simple and accessible. No Route planned. we meet Sunday at Brickworks 9 am and see whats most rideable. Should be pretty good, maybe some ice hidden under the fresh snow though

cheers

Alex

Hey all,
I'm one of those flys on the wall, who hopes every season to be fit enough to ride with you guys, maybe this year!
Rode Beaver Flats this afternoon, and 2 fatbikes had ridden just before me.
We were the first 3 riders on the trail since the snow.
There was a lot of ice under snow, some pushing the bike here and there, but still good fun. Fat better than studs.
Scrambled up to look at Catalyst, but that crazy moment passed quickly.
Should be more riders through tomorrow.

Hi Guys,

SCL was a helluva ride and no doubt something you all would’ve enjoyed.

I think studded fat tires made  a significant difference but a studded plus tire would probably do the trick too. Maybe next winter??

I’m looking forward to riding with you but Emily & I have plans to ski on Sunday.

With a little luck there will be a Saturday ride I can join you on sometime in the near future. 

Have a great ride,

T
