My recommendation is to ride Niagara Falls to Mississauga.....How reasonable is it to do a ride down to Niagara Falls for someone that’s been out of riding a while?
Have a simple road bike with skinny 700c tires and also a mountain bike. Which would be the better option? Both are due for new tires this week so can make the mountain bike a bit more road worthy in terms of tires.
Dundas and Mavis to Niagara. Have always wanted to do it. Always found a reason not to.
- You ride down the escarpment not up at the very end, less of a factor if you are going NOTL, the GO train goes to NF....
- If you need to be rescued you have GO train options if you make it to Burlington or past. If someone has to come get you because you bonked they do not have to go as far (you are riding towards rescue...).
- Road bike all the way as the MTB will just require more energy. Make sure you have tools and spare tube etc. If your tire are hard to get on and off consider a beadjack instead of just tire levers.
- Get some log rides in first to determine if you are up to it and to get your backside up to it.
