    Does anybody know why I can't print anything off this map? Every time I try to print a section of it I just get a half page with Greater Sudbury down to the French River. Any help is appreciated.

    The map is very large. If you have some kind of image editor (like photoshop), cut the sections you are interested in and print our those pieces. If you print out the map as is, it will be unreadable on an 8.5x11.

    The guy who ran it stopped riding, and he just let the website expire. You can see the archived version here:

    Here is a great site if you want to explore roads just across the river from Ottawa. Like going to Penn "cept it's called Quebec. The tourism people have laid out routes especially designed for motorcycles.

    The Big Map

    Since all the other links to the Big Map are dead unless you want to download the map... I've hosted it as a viewable file.
    Once it starts to open, just click on the map once and it should enlarge to a nice and easy to read size.

    Re: Great Ontario Bike Roads-The BIG map!

    I'm back riding after a few years hiatus. I used to use the Ontario bike roads site to plan out my Sunday morning route.

    I'd usually leave from the QEW/427 area around 7:30AM and be done around 1:00 pm. Has anyone mapped this route out? It's been a while since I've done it and used to know it by heart.

    Here's the route: Snake Road to Ice House for breakfast then onto Rattlesnake Point. Then to Speyside back roads onto Terra Cotta, Forks of the Credit and finally Hockley Valley Road. Then home.

    just went though Terra Nova / River Road this weekend
    (in my girlfriend's car, because we were going camping)
    and it's still pretty sandy in some corners.
    I'll be back there on the bike before long, because well..... damn that's a nice road!

    I have a suggestion for Cambridge-Paris Backroads for South Central - Waterloo/London Area. When heading down E River Rd, make a Left on Scenic Dr which is before Blue Lake Rd and take it to hwy 24. On Mapquest it doesn't look like much but it gets pretty twisty.

    Re: Great Ontario Bike Roads-The BIG map!

    I'm so checking out Forks of the credit this weekend:


    Share tight curves with bikes, Porsches...and on the weekends, Buicks and cop cars
    I know of a rider who got a pushy driver to back off by pulling a handgun out of his fairing pocket.

    Just an FYI, Caledon and the town of Belfountain have passed a by-law limiting the sound emitted by motorcycles. Goes futher than the HTA. OPP will be conducting roadside tests and handing out $150 fines. If you try to fight it in court and loose, you will be fined $1000. How is that for the beginnings of a POLICE STATE?

    Re: Great Ontario Bike Roads-The BIG map!

    Man, wish I'd read this thread before the road trip I just returned from...

    - I took the popular 507 "Buckhorn" route for the first time and it was a blast! I was smiling the whole way =) Slowed down to 1st gear to navigate around a flock of wild turkeys before arriving at Gooderham.
    - From there, continued north on 3 Road toward Haliburton. Stopped for a Moose. Smiles again =)
    - Kept going north and rode through Algonquin Park on Hwy 60. Been years since I've been there... beautiful! Stopped for a couple short hikes before continuing on Hwy 60 toward Ottawa. Fyi, fair bit of road work going on in the west sections of Hwy 60 right now. Riding on corduroy wasn't all that fun but once you get past the construction it's smooth sailing. Saw a bear.
    - Ottawa has a few nice roads along the river but traffic was a pain at times: Queen Elizabeth Driveway, Rockcliffe Parkway and Ottawa River Parkway.

    Next time I'll print the big map out and take it with me as it looks like I missed a whole bunch of good routes. Thanks for posting it!
