Watch for the gravel in the corners, especially going west.

Took a ride up to Parry Sound yesterday, bit on the chilly side, and dodged some dark clouds, but nice day ride.
Had to take a bunch of detours as it seems a bunch of bridges etc are under consturction, including Severn Bridge, Port Severn, Upper Big Shoot.
Did some more interesting road, I think, these are what seemed to get mentioned in the area HWY 17 to Big Chute, and HWY 632.
The route!
Rest stop at Lake St George met some nice locals.
Inuksuk around Port Severn, located around an abandon area.
Big Chute Marine Railway - new to me never seen this before
Rest stop in Parry Sound
Rest stop in Bala - getting late!

Wandered the backroads west of Sauga with a vague notion to get to Dover somewhere around lunch depending on which way I zigged or zagged. Listening to a good audio book and the right drug combo made for an enjoyable ride.
Got to Calendon and hit up the Timmies on the way into town. There is a little train station a couple hundred meters off the road - caboose and park area and a couple nice benches in the shade.
Grand Trunk Railway Station - Haldimand County.
Looked at traffic and building heat and decided to slab back home. Enjoyable day.
quiet shady place to take a break. Bench is just beyond the bike and a couple hundred meters from HWY6

Last week sometime, just puttering, made my way out to Mamora and Madoc
As it happened
Pitstop at this neat Bed & Breakfast with planes and other army stuff
Pitstop in Peterborogh with some interesting murals.
Havelock, not much around here
Marmora, down by the river, after this is Deloro road, which was fun.
Heading home, somewhere on the north side of Rice Lake waiting for the sun to go down a bit more so I can see heading west.

Sunday was beautiful for a ride. Did some puttering around Niagara region.
Hamilton / Caledonia / Cayuga / Port Maitland / Niagara Falls etc.
I was also curious what impact COVID had on visitors to the Falls, seemed busy as usual. Also tons of riders out.
Where I went
Bridge In Cayuga
Port Maitland Lighthouse
The Falls
Waiting for a boat in St Catharines

Went for a ride on Sunday around Niagara region. My first time riding along the Niagara parkway. The weather could not have been better for riding, just perfect. The parkway was surprisingly empty both ways, i was expecting slow moving traffic especially on my way back in afternoon. Rode for a total of 6.5 Hours with a 20 minutes break, my longest riding time in saddle on this bike and had enough energy to even party in the evening. Really impressed and surprised with just how comfortable the S1000R is.
@sburns: I think i saw you around Hamilton heading towards Niagara. Were you around Hamilton at around 1:30 pm?
Read recommendation for this place on this post so thought i should check it out. They were only serving breakfast items at the time. But the sandwich was awesome.
I love finding Totem poles.
Sir Adam Beck Generating Station look out.

Really? I did cut through Hamilton kinda weird way. I avoided the Burlington bridge but had to cut back through Hamilton to get to Dundas then over to Ancaster, but I am not sure what time I did that part, it was early on.
I too was surprised of the lack of traffic along the Niagara parkway, pretty free flowing except near the Falls itself. Lots of covettes, and other fancy cars.
Nice photos!
