    Building my first one day ride, help!

    So, summer is getting close and I really want to build a one day ride, to take a few times this summer.

    I have been looking at some of the riding roads and links in the forum, and so far I have build this.

    http://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?oe=utf...5fb666d68ac093

    Please note this is a work in progress, and I am not a 100% sure how much I can push in one day. Also part of the requirement is to take
    45 to 503 to 507 south.

    NOTES: I plan to stay on the speed limit, since I am only running a 250cc

    I am a bit lost after coming out of 507, no clue what to follow.
    Any suggestions of where to eat? de-tours? views? etc...

    Instead of going to Peterborough, you'll have done most of 507 - why not turn onto #36 through bobcaygeon, follow it along and it hooks back up with #7.
    Better to regret something you have done than something you haven't.

    Yes, I use the Map on that first thread as my reference to draw the "48 - kirkfields - 45 - 503 - 507" part.. and thank you for the first link you provided to Buckhorn, I did missed that. I will be adding it to the map but will not be running it on my first trip

    Thank you for the information still

    The 507 isnt all what its hyped up to be. Its only really "fun" if you're doing double the speed limit. It is a decent road though.

    I'll link up a couple of routes that I've done in that surrounding area. Route 3 includes the 507. All of these routes have/can be done in 1 day.

    Route 1:

    Route 2:

    Route 3: (Includes the 507):

    http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&sourc...9,2.705383&z=9

    Route 4:
    http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=d&sourc...8,2.705383&z=9

    These are some great routes that are closer that my buddy built up ( I helped with the West Side route around the escarpment, Snake Road etc ) 20 tours in all

    While geared to even the smallest scooter your 250 will get lots of work out
