2024 Day Trips

The route is boring from Waterloo till you get to Flesherton. From there up to Thornbury thru the Beaver Valley it's beautiful. Really neat watching the salmon running the fish ladder.

Thanks! May be in that area today so will come south along 13.

It was interesting to see some colour low in the valley but still green in the surrounding hills. And yes the fish ladder was cool.

Very cool. No salmon but now time to drive down 13!

EDIT: can confirm. 13 was fun with the GTI.

One of the reasons for this destination was to visit my cousin. She's lived downtown Thornbury for years.
Me: We're at the fish ladder.
Her: Where's that?

I saw a lot of fisherman…but no fish.

Still a little early in the season. We get a lot of salmon in the Nottawasaga tributary that runs through Hockley Valley. Some years the stream in front of the first tee is so full of them you could almost walk on them.

That's a heck of a run @mimico_polak ... I'd have happily joined given enough notice but already had plans. Go again in the fall and you'll enjoy the scenery 10 fold and with a buddy or 2 it is more enjoyable.

That’s the plan! Keeping an eye out on the Algonquin colours report and I missed last year…but hoping to go this year.

An advantage with the cooler weather too is you don't feel the engine heat roasting your thighs and nether regions ... c'mon Ducati, figure this out!

Did a ride over to Peterbourgh today to check out the lock. Meh why not.
Some areas on the way had some colour changes, but still mostly green

If you have any route suggestions other than the planned route, send them over.

I will send you the GPX file anyways.

I just created a GPX based off what you had - that looks like a fun route!

Is there a go to app for routes and GPX files?
