The Log Driver's Waltz is a route, not a race. It was designed to showcase the region. It is up to you how fast you pass through this beautiful landscape. As is common with other bikepacking routes some riders will want to see how fast they can ride the route. If you are trying to set a personal record or a new FKT it is expected that you respect other users on shared pathways and forest trails. FKT is the elapsed time and includes stops. If you decide to "race" the route you do so entirely at your own risk. Information, expectations and FKT records can be found here: https://www.logdriverswaltz.ca/fastest-known-times.html
Wow! J’ai adoré cette dose de saine compétitivité que Trackleaders m’a apportée (...) Le fait de savoir que mon entourage me suivait et m’encourageait a aussi fait la différence dans ma motivation à donner tout ce que j’avais…surtout les 70 derniers kilomètres!
(Wow! I loved this dose of healthy competition that Trackleaders brought me (...) The fact of knowing that my supporters were following me and encouraging me also made the difference in my motivation to give everything I had…especially the last 70 kilometres!)
