We've ridden the West Hawk - Falcon Lake spur of the Trans Canada Trail twice in last few weeks, the first time with our mountain bikes, and then again with the fat bikes. Part of the trail includes short steep hills with a loose gravel surface. With the mountain bikes, we spun out climbing several of the hills and had to dismount and push. Descents on the mountain bikes were scary.
The fat bikes were slower on the flats, but did grind up the hills fine. Descending was a lot more fun on the fatties, with the bikes feeling way more under control.
The photos are from my favourite part - a pine section planted in 1959. Seeing the deer was a bonus.
