Trans-Canada Trail on Bicycle

This sunny afternoon, I took my Diamondback Sorrento mountain bike to test on the Trans-Canada Trail, a dirt road of mostly gravels and sand on its surface. The connecting paths leading to the trail were almost all paved NCC bike paths though, and only a small portion of street paths.

With mostly light breeze, I achieved the following one-way performance data:

Trip distance: 14.53 km
Moving time: 45 minutes
Moving avg speed: 19.2 km/h
Max speed: 31.3 km/h

Since there were no steep downhill slopes, my max speed was about 6 km/h slower than yesterday's. But the dirt road trail was probably a stretch of a 20-minute ride at a slower pace. Still a slow-poke on bike, no doubt :)

So long for now...
