Weekend Run To Burk’s Falls - July 17 - Saturday
- Thread starter Evoex
- Start date
I tried that once. One of the most frustrating things I have tried to do that was not work related. Probably a PEBKAC issue but the computer almost paid the price for it that day.
Just got home. Good ride overall and they were about an hour from opening and I wasn’t planning on sticking around.
Came back down through Dorset (love hwy 35) and then 118. Was running on fumes and filled up 16.8L into a 17L tank!
720km total! Gonna be walking like a cowboy.

Yeah HWY 35 is great up that way. I was just there on Wednesday, too bad the tower is closed in Dorset. Turned back and went to Haliburton.

I got out on a 170.5 mile ride on the old girl today. Could have easily gone double that if Only I’d have gotten up early.
You picked a perfect day for a long ride MP
.Where was that last pic taken? Could you have fished at that spot?

@Robbo it was just one picnic site along 35. Looked like fishing would be able but there was a boat launch to the right of it.
@sburns you’re right. 35 is amazing. Just wish there were more gas stations. It was empty for the most part.
I got super lucky with the weather. Was absolutely gorgeous.
Also hit up Southwood Rd on the way up. And just missed an awesome photo op with a train coming towards the bike as I didn’t have time to get off and grab my phone. Too bad as it would’ve looked awesome.

Yeah the gas situation is funny up that way. I got myself into a bit of a challenge. Dorset has gas, a little shell station other side of town.
But I had lots of fuel there, headed to Halliburton still good, then to Kinmount, no gas, shoot, closest was Norlan, just made it.
Shell at 60/35 from now on when I’m going south. If my tank is actually 17L total I had 200mL of fuel left when I got to the gas station.
The south part was OK. Middle of it was pretty good until the train tracks. Very enjoyable just watch for gravel in corners.
Beyond the tracks it was horrible. Lots of pot holes, gravel, uneven pavement, and in all honesty had a few jarring moments when the wheel hit a pothole.
Northern part was also garbage. Honestly the second train tracks if you’re not paying attention you’re getting air at speed.

That's so strange. When I was on it last year, they were repaving it somewhere close to the north end. Are they still working on it?

The area up by Torrance Barrens is in the worse shape I've ever seen
Make a lunch stop here in Huntsville, it's a decent alternative with a great view:
Lions Lookout · Lookout Rd, Huntsville, ON P1H 1R1, Canada
You can route South Portage Rd and also County Rd 10 towards Port Sydney (which is freshly paved btw
)
