Bata island Revisited May 3rd 2025

 Last September after doing the Big Dirty Trenton Peak Bagging ride. Added a wee bit more that evening.

Big Dirty Trenton Peak Bagging Ride- 7 Peaks September 1st 2024



Had grabbed the handlebar light and headed up to Bata Island to do a recce to see what was there. As during a grave ride with my friend on the Trent Waterway Rail Trail had seen it and had discussed doing a ride to that at a later date.

Bata Island Night Ride Recce September 1st 2024

After earlier in the afternoon revisiting Lookout Mountain got to Batawa with enough time to get in a revisit to Bata Island. With the goal of videoing the Bata Island part to share with friend to give a better idea of what was there for a possible ride in 2025.


It would be a revisit of the same route from September 2024 though this time with more light and less relying on a handlebar light. Since it is the same route as 2024 the blog entry from last year is pretty much the same as this visit. Though there would be a slight change.


This would be the last adventure where all video attempted to shoot would be done using the cell phone. As earlier in the day seeing John on the lead race moto at the aid station using a GoPro I decided it was time to upgrade to one. Part of it being that video uses up the phone battery. Also add in the worry of the phone eventually getting wrecked.


Bata Island Fading Light 2025

You can see the trail on Bata Island and what it is like roughly in the YouTube video link. 

Once finished the loop around Bata Island it was back to Batawa and the Ute with the handlebar light on. With mission accomplished. That mission being getting video of what then trail looks like. Once back at the Ute, loaded up and started the rest of the drive home.
