This ride is only for bikes capable of handling 400 series highways but also gravel, dirt and uneven terrain. It is not a motocross event however, and we will bypass harshest stretches.
Meet spot:
8am departure time (if you want to socialize come earlier)
Tim Hortons @ Innisfil Beach Rd. and HWY 400
2098 Commerce Park Dr., Innisfil
Shell gas station is right next door - fill up before we leave.
I'm leaving from Mississauga, if anyone wants to meet there:
6:30am
Tim Hortons, 780 S Sheridan Way (QEW @ Mississauga Rd.)
gas station is there as well.
I'm gonna have a quick coffee to wake up and depart.
We will slab it on 400 to Rosseau where the Old Nipissing Road starts, from then on we will explore the road and potentially do a couple of side trips to see local points of interest (as in ghost towns for example). On our way we'll pass through Magnetawan and Commanda, finally reaching Nipissing area.
Coming back, we may do a side trip if time allows and there's still sun out.
Estimated time required for the ride is 11h (Innisfil to Innisfil).
We'll stop for lunch at whichever small town looks friendly.
What to bring:
hiking shoes, water, energy bar, positive attitude
I have never done this route, some parts are not mapped, we will possibly get "lost," if that bothers you, please stay home.
In case of bad weather, the ride will be moved to the following Saturday.
