    Wait a sec. bluevfr was saying that the north portion of hwy 7 is in bad condition, right? And mikethecottagebum was sayng that is in good condition up to the wildlife center... Then I suppose that we should come from south, right?
    Lil can you post the final route?
    Is it a one day trip? no motels, right?
    I'll track this post but till now it has been decided that the meeting point is at Don Mills/Shepp. Esso around 7:30 to leave at 8.

    60 that goes thru the park is a major road and is in exellent condition, it is well maintained all year round.

    Re: June 12-10-Ride to Algonquin park

    Okay lets make sure were talking about the same thing in regards to 60 vs Kennesis Lake 7


    FIRST

    TWO PARKS, one Algonquin, one Haliburton Forest.

    Second

    Kennesis Lake rd goes North off 118 up to Kennesis Lake around it and back down. It does not Connect with 60. Bikes WILL NOT ENJOY themselves beyond the Haliburton Forest and Wild life Centre,


    I'm pretty sure all the routes mentioned here do not take this convoy past HWY 118 AND Kennesis Rd 7 at West Guilford.

    Trying to alleviate confusion probably made it even better!

    NO RAIN NO RAIN NO RAIN!!!!

    Lol very good question Aryan , I know there are alot of stations along the route i have caged it to algonquin for years but yes took the hiway 400 till the break off point in my car.. my tank is small so we will have to make stops ..
    Dexter I don't want to take the hiways for the reason i am really new to the hi speeds on my bike and it will take me time .So if anyone wants to do the hiway feel free to but we wont be .
    Please print off a map for yourselves so you can meet us if you wish , who rides with us arrives with us .
    We stick together as a group will exchange cells to just in case ..
    We want to have fun not worry about people stressing over hiways
    Peace out

    Make sure to fill up before you enter the Park as there are no gas stations in Algonquin.

    Man, now you have me thinking about this and I'll give her a quick ride on the weekend to see how she feels I think I'll give my older son a ride too, who is 9. My youngest is 6, so I think it's a little early for him for a Supersport

    Be careful on the gas stations way up north around Algonquin. I think most of them close early on Saturdays. So make sure you have this planned, or your sleeping on the side of the road with your bike for the night I would call them ahead of time to ensure that they're open late enough for you guys to gas up to be able to get south a little..

    No panic, depending on if you are going from the East or West, just gas up in Maynooth or Dorset and you will be fine, It is only 120 K between these 2 towns where you can find gas, food etc.

    You guys really have my interest peaked with this ride. I'm going to watch this thread.

    I'm a new rider as well...just not sure I want to get up that much earlier, to head in from Kitchener area. lol.

    This is a route I want to try sometime...I'm hoping the rain holds off mostly for you guys.

    120k for my bike is no probs. some others need it quicker..

    I did this run last week and we lucked out on a gas station when we reached it 5 minutes before closing. If we didn't catch this, we would of had a nice nap with the bears
