This is my ride activity record for the complete BT 700 XL.(https://ridewithgps.com/trips/389797886). This was one of the toughest and most enjoyable rides I've done. Thanks to its creator Matthew Kadey for creating such a beautiful beast with so many kilometres of mountain bike trails. I used a copy of the official route (see http://www.bt700.ca/bt-700-xl.html) that I reversed (so counter clockwise) with the start changed from St Jacobs to Albion Hills (my route https://ridewithgps.com/routes/55447412). ). This was to get the hardest part of the route done first. As I am 72 and not in great shape (due to some health issues) it took me 6 days and 10.5 hours to complete 933 kms doing 130 to 160 kpd. The official route numbers are: Distance: 890 Kilometres Total Ascent: 8,500 metres Unpaved/Paved: 85%/15% The official route description is very accurate: "Looking for the ultimate bikeapacking challenge in Ontario? The BT 700 XL delivers. This is a beefed-up version of the BT 700 route. Riders can expect even more trails and challenging terrain. A route that certainly should not be taken lightly. A beautiful beast, indeed. Beefy bike set-ups and a gung-ho attitude are needed." Photo Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ga8TSD7vfLws7B9h6.
