And August Was Great For Riding

Despite the heat I got out for a bunch of good rides. Towards the end of the month things cooled off and it got even better. That was also time for holidays in the Near North. I got out for a couple of epic rides.

The allure for me in the Magnetawan area is the abundance of roads that are marked "Not A Through Road" or "No Winter Maintenance Beyond This Point". And of course that means curiousity spikes and I have to go see what's down them.

I wouldn't say that I set out to build the perfect bike for gravel and trail exploring but my 2017 CUBE Reaction Pro does a really good job. It is just a comfy bike for multi-hour rides.

This bike is going to carry me forward for many years to come. I always look at the new bikes but something tells me that unless I drop a lot of $ they aren't going to be what this one is.
