As the name suggests, this ride is cold, damp, bug-infested, with riders constantly staring danger in its eyes.

This event is for advanced riders only. The Kraken’s Breath will test the most grizzled of veterans and talented of experts alike. This is a GPS and guided ride with leaders and sweepers. The estimated distance is 100-120 km in a single day with a gas stop and hot lunch at half-way.

The route will cover “EXPERT” trails in the RideOFTR rating grid. It will include extreme obstacles, ledges, ascents, descents including the revered and feared Green’s Mountain, Waterfall, and several special tests and challenges for those willing to embrace the Kraken’s relentless and slimy grip. During spring conditions in Kawartha, riders should expert wet conditions and come prepared for all possible mechanical complications.

A rider meeting will take place via Zoom the Sunday prior with an email link sent to all registered participants. The rider meeting will cover preparation and bike set up. It is recommended that all riders come equipped with mousses, gummy tires, ample insect spray, and a well-stocked tool kit. In order to keep the ride well managed and tight, registration is presently limited to 50 riders (with possible additional entries if circumstances justify).

Upon completion, riders will receive Heroic Seafarer status, and a memento to remind them of this unforgettable accomplishment. Calm seas never made a good sailor, and smooth trails never made a skilled rider.

Batten down the hatches, the Kraken is surfacing…
