Brief: A few nice turns, good surface and scenery, too short (aren't they all)
I was looking to take a lady friend for a little jaunt this weekend and consulted the Great Ontario Bike Roads thread (http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?95-Great-Ontario-Bike-Roads-The-BIG-map!). Our departure time was around 1900h, so we wanted something nearby. We decided on Terra Cotta for the proximity and stream - she was keen on taking a little dip to cool off. The map was a little difficult to decipher, but eventually we decided to take Hwy 10 to King, then down Side Road 22 to Main through Georgetown.
King Road was fine until I got caught behind a couple slow drivers. My lady friend was as disappointed as I was - she even threw up her visor to comment on how slowly they were going. After making it down to Terra Cotta Park, we took another spin up - behind another slow moving vehicle - before wisely waiting as long as possible at the top before going down for another run. She commented after that had I leaned any more, she would have squeezed the daylights out of me. I thought she was exaggerating, but I didn't mind
The bottom had construction, so we just chilled for a bit at a little park at Confederation and Main. After a little issue starting the bike (thanks to the two bikers, one street, one cruiser, for the push start!) we headed back up to Terra Cotta park for a little dip in the Credit Valley River. Ride back up was nice, no traffic until Hwy 10, then smooth sailing from there!
All in all, I'd say this is a good route for a day trip with someone special. Bring a picnic, enjoy the park and little towns, and get a little lean while you're at it. The roads aren't too challenging, but take that with a grain of salt as I'm a pretty new rider. Enjoy!
