After lunch it heads back to Orangeville using the same type of roads.
I am looking at an optional route back to Orangeville using the Dufferin Rail trail.
More info will be posted in this thread as things get finalized. There is a fair bit of preriding to do as with the recent torrential rains we...

The Lake Erie Shoreline Tour is a 300 km back roads ride starting in St Thomas. It will follow the shore line for the first half of the route and end for lunch in Erieau. This will be mostly gravel with some asphalt with only a small section of trail. Suitable for all big dawgs.

Could be through the week , weekends are ok too but tend to be busy in the forests. It would be a good way for newer riders to become familiar with the various forest tracts, gain confidence and build skills.
I think we would keep the groups to five riders and limit the bike size (appropriate bike) to 500cc’s or less. I’m not going to set a date or location until I see if there...

Now that Covid is mostly behind us now and the riding season is mostly ahead of us now it's time to start planning a few rides!

So the Bluewater Adventure Tour is a 330 km back roads ride starting in London and following the Sydenham River for part of the route then along the St Clair river for a bit. No trails on this ride, just interesting backroads and great scenery. This is an ideal run for your KLR or big adventure bike.

Start from the Tim Hortons, Wellington Road...

Thought I'd share my experience, if anyone else wants to post their content also. I know I've tried looking for info about this event on the site before and could only find a very outdated tread... Rockhound is one of the best dual sport events left in Ontario these days, especially since the Roaming Rally folded...

This is a historical tour of southern Ontario mills, so it’s a bit more informative than our regular rides, connected by some great back roads. The ride is suitable for all size bikes, must be street legal.

The ride starts somewhere near Guelph ( likely at the Mohawk Inn). And goes North towards Collingwood/Flesherton area.

More details will be posted closer to the ride.

There will be numerous river crossings....all over old, iron bridges...too many to count! It involves the Grand, Conestoga, and Ninth Rivers and as much gravel as we can find. Quite a few of these and Its quite suitable for Big Dogs or Small Dogs.

We shall meet at Elora Racetrack on Sat at 9.30 with the intention to leave at 10.am prompt. Parking will be right across the road from the racetrack. We have a few diversions as things have...
