BROUGHT TO YOU BY VOLKSWAGEN THE OFFICIAL CAR OF MOUNTAIN BIKERS

 


Hello Everyone, I am Gary Briggs. I like to Mountain Bike at Algonguin Provincial Park, Hardwood Hills and on the Trails around my place. Algonquin Park has a mountain bike trail called The Minnesing Mountain Bike Trail. It has 4 loops, the first one is 4.7km and ranges in difficulty, the second one is 10km and has a lot of boggy stretches along with some big hills. The third loop is 17km is about as the same as the second loop but it has a lot of steep inclines and big mud holes (the best) and finally loop four is 23.4km long and is a combination of all the loop, it is especially very rocky. Check out Algonquin Provincial Park.

Hardwood Hills has, I think one of the best trails I've road on. Hardwood Hills has a great verity of trails ranging from easy to very difficult.Hardwood Hills also hosts the World Cup mountain bike races. I think the sport rocks and that is all I have to say...........YA!

This is me on my bike on trails around my place
