The Butter Tart 700 is a bikepacking route in Southern Ontario. Route designer Matt Kadey speaks about what went into the creation of this loop. He wanted to ensure an interesting mix of surfaces and to keep it remote without being remote. One look at the route on the Ride with GPS page shows the level of detail Kadey has put into the creation of the BT 700. He’s marked places to stay, eat, drink and even borrow books.
Jaden Chipman, the national BMX freestyle champion, speaks about the significance of his podium spot at the recent Toronto X-Jam. X-Jam is not only an important event for Chipman, but BMX freestyle as a whole in the run-up to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
