Well we wished for nice weather and I guess we got it!
We left on the Harley's Monday to avoid the weekend cottage crowd, which was a great idea. Who knew it would be sweltering? It was the hottest 2 days we have spent riding in all our trips. But the scenery was beautiful and we rode along the lakes and water as much as possible. You can use the Ontario Backroads Maps to chart out plenty of less travelled scenic roads.
Lake Simcoe, Severn Falls, Bala, Port Carling, Bracebridge, Gravenhurst, Jackson's Point and Keswick were a few of the places we visited. Our round trip was close to 250 miles which was the perfect amount to split in half with our starting/ending base in Cookstown. We stayed in a wonderful B&B called The Manse in Port Carling ...exceptionally nice hosts Bill & Linda had unique suites for us and a pampered chef breakfast the next morning.
Our suite had the Noah's Arc theme with so much great attention to detail; it was a Methodists Minister's early 1900's period home till they converted it into a B&B.
This was Barb and Les's first overnight trip. We have ourselves a Bike Gang now!
