    I would take Airport, bit more fun with its ups and downs, not too much turning really.

    Airport Road is useless.

    This route is long but fun

    Hey guys thanks for the suggestions! Matt/Shark that looks like an awesome route! I'm in a bit of a rush tomorrow but when I can take it easy and enjoy the scenery I'll be definitely taking the recommended routes in the next few weeks!
    Thanks again!

    This is an excellent route, especially near the creemore area with the up and down riding the escarpments! Very nice.

    I was thinking that as well...but when I calculated it it's about a 20-30min difference b/w the single lane highways then the 400. But thanks for the recommendation I might take it back depending on what time I finish up there!

    Skip going thru Barrie - always a PITA. Go west on 90 at the Dunlop turn. I drive this route a lot. Cheap gas on the way at Sunnidale Corners.

    highway 26 has a lot of traffic. I usually go up as far as Highway 9or 89, then take it across to airport rd then up..

    If you're in a rush, why didn't you just ask for the most direct route?
