    16 riding roads around Toronto

    GO TO: www.wingnutty.ca

    All roads are paved and tested and not long routes. There are 17 routes plus Ont.Gov suggested routes,(see #20) as of 2009. Am still working on this website. 17 roads completed now, the newest being a run to the Kawarthas... Bobcaygeon and back.
    The next route will be #18, Richmond Hill to Wassaga Beach, to Creemore, and back via River Road, north of Shelburne.

    I like exploring within 2 hours of the GTA. My bike is a Honda Silverwing 600 maxi-scooter... all automatic cuz I'm lazy and shiftless. My website is an ongoing personal project, which includes ride routes/maps all around the GTA. All routes are tested. All are paved. Surf over to www.wingnutty.ca for details.

    ive said this before, some very cool little rides around the area. Well done. These would be perfect for newbies to help gain the confidence for the bigger elephant lake rd maynooth rides ive been on before.
    Keep up the great work

    Hey Gord,

    Again, great site. I can look after the Lakeshore ride in the spring. It's my boredom-buster anyway.

    Keep it up,

    Adrian

    Actually, the site helps me keep track of where I've been all year. Should be good for '09. I'd like to take each route at least once a year. Planning #17, from Port Perry to Bobcaygeon, to Fenelon Falls, to Lindsay and back to Pt.Perry. I've done it by car once.
    Maybe a circle route to the Wasaga Beach area and beyond, will be #18.

    For the growing crowd of people with GPS devices it would be great to have a track log in .gpx format too.

    You can use EveryTrail.com to map your routes and share them.

    Just some suggestions for future improvement. Let me know if you need more detailed input or assistance.
