Jane and Finch is close to where I live during the week (up in Vaughan weekdays). It's a safe neighborhood if you've been around long enough ;)

I'll check that if I'm by again some time.
& @jdcamb come ride Copeland Forest next summer. I'll give a great tour of the hills in Barrie. :)

In the cleavage of the Tetons
I crash all the time on a fat bike, but usually it's due to getting off of the 'groomed' center of the trail, and into the unconsolidated powder. Ass over teakettle as front wheel disappears. You get used to it...

In hell. Welcome!
the crashes on the fatbike are ok though, as you fall in snow. snow. because that's the only place you should be seen riding a fatbike.
Well, our snow is really ice, with the exception of maybe 2 days / winter. That's why I prefer studded tires on a SS to Fat. Also, if trolling is your natural talent, pissing off fatbikers by riding on "their" trails is priceless. :D (while they mostly lack any sense of respect towards XC ski trails)

If you wanna piss them off even more, go walking on "their" trails. Post holing sucks to ride through. absolutely sucks. but they can't say anything, caus' hey, you're on foot - the OG mode of locomotion!

OT - I just started fat biking this year. I don't do social media (RM is as close as I get - not sure if that counts?). I created a facebook account so I could join the local fatbike group to read about trail conditions. what a bunch of whiners... holy shit. Reinforces my desire to have nothing to do with social media. But... I can see how trolls have popped up with the use of that shit.... it's like shooting fish in a barrel!

Works until there's a boulder under the snow you fall into...

To date, postholing has not bugged me too much, and trail user conflict here is extremely rare.
