On September 1st road tripped to the Batawa Ski Hill to do a big ride. Well revisit a past one with a slight variation. You can see more in the link below.
Big Dirty Trenton Peak Bagging Ride- 7 Peaks September 1st 2024
Almost all the gear and the Stylus worked well. Like most things there are a couple of things that could have been done better. One of them is that probably should have carried a bit of on bike refueling stuff like did the first go in 2022.
It is my own fault as there has been something around that have been for a long time meaning to restart carrying. That being a Gel Flask with maple syrup and salt mixed together. I learned of this way back in 2003 when was doing some 50km Ultramarathon trail races. Long before someone decided to do something similar with one use tubes.
Hard to follow through with though when memory issues have you forgetting you where going to do something like that. So you keep putting it off. That would have helped as the ride progressed.
Bata Island Night Ride Recce September 1st 2024
The second ride showed need to finish making the light mount for the Bell Super DH Helmet. While was able to do the Bata Island Recce Ride with the handlebar mounted light. It was not ideal for the trails on the island itself using that alone. With that in mind next project will be creating a mounting that will allow me to mount the helmet light to the Super DH that works with the Bell Super DH Go Pro mount.
The only other thing need to address is doing a better job of having gear sorted and ready so that kit is better set up to just go. Sort of that can you be ready to go in 15 minutes type thing. Looking up gear rooms and such while thinking of ways to manage TBI caused memory issues kind of went down the ready room YouTube rabbit hole.
In the end only three things that can be really improved on that being the Gel Flask thing and the helmet light mount. With the gear prep and ready room type thing for mtb will be a longer term set up idea. And will be worked on over time as figure out each part of it which could be interesting to see what come up with.
