Another trail ride

April 21st, 2009

I took my Giant XTC 1 out for another ride this weekend.  I rode north along the trails starting from Orchard Heights Park in Etobicoke-Toronto.  The trail begins right under the bridge of the Gardiner Expressway.  It rides along The West Mall all the way up to Dundas.  Unfortunately that is where it ends.  It is short (two or three kilometres), but some parts are challenging enough to make you want to go back again.

I used my new favorite panoramic stitching program AutoStitch to create these panoramic photos.  Feel free to click and see a larger version of them.

First trail

April 4th, 2009

This is my first post on NoobTech’s blog and I going to say a little bit of me: I’m from Brazil and I have been living in Canada for 10 months… that’s enough :)

I’m the guy who have influenced Rob to buy the bike, my friends in Brazil used to calm me “bike maniac”, because I used to go every were riding my bike, including dating :)

So, a few days ago me and Rob decided to go biking – we couldn’t wait for the warm weather, it was nine degrees – , and we have found just mud, mud, and mud…

We rode across the Etobicoke River, although, at the end of the trail our bikes was weighing two times more.

Photos are too bad quality because I forgot my cam and I had to use my cellphone, anyways it’s better than nothing :D

Panoramic Photos with Autostitch

March 10th, 2009

I did two things this Sunday.  I went on my first bike ride this year with my new mountain bike, and got the chance to try out some panoramic photography.  The ride was cold at 7°C so I had to bundle up.  I rode along lakeshore and was able to see the Toronto skyline.  Although it was a bit foggy I wanted to try and make a panoramic photo of it anyway.

Giant XTC 1

March 6th, 2009

Well after not riding for more than two years, I decided to get back into it and recently purchased a new bike.  Mostly due to influence from a co-worker I have decided on the Giant XTC 1.  It’s my first bike with hydraulic breaks and I can’t contain myself till I get to ride it.  I’m looking forward to discovering Toronto’s trails and hidden gems. :)   I am now feverishly googling for mountain bike trails and maps of the area…
