Anyone every ride the road north of the Ford plant? There is a beautiful turn at the end! I scouted it the other day and a sign said something about trespassing and a unmarked security suv was Parked there. They looked at me kind of funny but didn’t say anything! I hit it both directions and very nice! Not sure if the sign is just a deterrent or for the parking lots located there. I think the security person might be for all the new vehicles they have parked in the lots.

If you mean the Oakville Assembly Complex, then its just one scenic sweeper on the service road. Do that a few times and security gets called. Not worth the travel to get there in the first place.

I live close to there so I was going to add it in with some ramping!

New rider. BE CAREFUL. With group rides it's very tempting to get sucked into doing something that you don't have the experience to handle ... and you might not even know that you don't have the experience.

Burlington No 4 side road is a slow road. It's narrow, there are no lane markings, it has poor sightlines with trees directly up to the side of the road, debris and sand and gravel are not unheard of, and pedestrians and bicyclists are common because it is in a rural-residential area. SLOW.

Definitely can not rip down that road! Very nice twisty though at regular speed!

So far I think it's doable for me. Will confirm tomorrow though.
Hope other folks can join too

Hey guys, nice meeting y'all! It was good fun. Hope everyone reached home safe!

Thanks @shanekingsley for leading. Some great roads. I don't even know where we went. If you don't mind, can you post the route here?

Nice ride! Thanks Shane for navigating!

Nice riding with you guys!
Here's the route: 515 Dundas St W to Burlington

 

[Chris-CJ]

That is one nice ride, have done parts of it on my own.
SW Ontario does have decent riding roads ..... if you know where to look.
A "salute" to Shane!

Looks like it will be a great day for a ride!

I won't be able to make it out this week. Have to take the bike to the dealership right now to get an issue looked at

 

[voyageur]

Looks like I'm unable to make it this week due to some stuff that I need to get done. Enjoy the ride whoever is going...
