WELCOMING WINTER TO ALGONQUIN PARK
|
|
Greetings!
It's November and the snowflakes are starting to fly. Our fleet of rental canoes are all put to bed for the winter so now it's time to get ready for ski/snowboard/snowshoe/fat bike/winter camping season! The outdoor adventurer never quits, we just change gear!
This newsletter will cover some of the fun things the Algonquin Outfitters does in the winter. Come visit us at one of our stores to get geared up or for some friendly advice on how to start your winter adventuring!

The Muskoka River X is the world's longest single-day expedition paddling race in the world. Canoe, kayak and SUP racers have to navigate Muskoka's watershed unsupported in an epic 24 hour race which covers 130 km and 20 portages.
Algonquin Outfitters is proud to play a large roll in this event. Check out the video and let us know what you think! More details can be found here.

Winter Storage Tips and Solutions
by John Gall, Johnny's Boatshop, Huntsville Now that you've finished that fall canoe trip, it's time to put your canoe into storage for the winter. While there are specific steps for different hull and trim types, I will start with a common step I do to every canoe that comes to my facility for winter storage and/or a maintenance package: CLEANING. Housekeeping For Your Canoe:
Cleaning a canoe by hand with rags and an all purpose biodegradable cleaner is the best way to inspect every inch of the hull for damage. If you discover any stubborn spots like pine pitch or scuff marks, you can usually remove these with methyl hydrate (a.k.a. fondue fuel) - it won't hurt the finish on your canoe.

GET READY FOR WINTER ADVENTURE!
|
 The most exciting recent innovation in bicycles has to be the fat bike. It's the most versatile human-powered off road vehicle and is helping bridge the season-gap for avid cyclists.
The fat bike is at home in packed snow, mud, sand, gravel and all the other terrain that isn't quite ideal for a regular mountain bike. We carry fat bikes from the best brands: Salsa, Specialized and KHS lead the market in value, innovation and weight. Come and take one for a test ride or rent a Salsa Mukluk 3 for the weekend! You will be surprised how capable and fun they are! Donnie or Glenn at our Huntsville store are fat bike gurus and they'll be able to answer any questions you may have. Give them a call at 705-787-0262.
