Eldorado Abuse (video)
« on: May 17, 2023, 03:46:25 PM »
Well, not really abuse - just good, honest use. The Pick Axe Loop is a 370km long back roads loop/trail in eastern Ontario, just southeast of Algonquin Park. It is really just a bunch of small, barely used single track roads strung together as a circle tour for full-sized ADV bikes to ride. This is my second time. The first time I was on my Panther ( https://youtu.be/qGmOBXPL6UA but it was still winterish then.

So, a month later I returned with my other ADV bike - the Eldorado - to see how I would fare this time. As usual, life got in the way.....

Here's the video link: https://youtu.be/82VUTA1RACs

The road is smoother than many of my local "paved" roads here in Southern Indiana Nick! Looks like a nice ride if there weren't any Blackflies around. TIlley hat and mosquito net for stops!
