Hello all, I was just wondering if we could start a list of the best roads to ride in the GTA or just outside of the GTA. I am a noob so your help would be appreciated. So far I know of these 3.

1) Forks of the Credit - been there as I live in North Brampton and it's easy to get to - very scenic and a nice ride.

2) Snake Rd. - would like to check it out shortly

3) Hockley Valley - haven't been yet but on my to do list

** please let me know of other roads that are scenic and twisty it would be nice to rate them out of 10 if possible. I know it might be hard to give a rating as they are all different and require different skill sets/technical abilities**

You must have missed the Riding Roads/Hazards forum :thumbup:
 
Well GTA just about = zero decent roads unless you count Mississauga Road but just outside some decent

Geared for scoots but still fun in stretches

Includes a good Snake and Escarpment route I helped with

Just point the bike along the escarpment and weave up and down it. :D

I really like the DVP... around 5:30 is nice
 
twin rivers (scarborough/pickering boarder) is frequented with local motorcyclists (myself included). Its nothing to go from Mississauga to Pickering for though. 5/10, pretty short.

1 - over rated, too much traffic/popo to have fun

2 - never been

3- short ride, long distance to get to but alright for a destination ride (where else are Torontonians to go?)

short spurts of speed (with little chances of getting caught, if you look out)

a-Lakeshore Westbound just after Windermere Ave.
b-Lakeshore Westbound up onto the Gardiner, watch for radar just before the ramp
c-any ramp onto the Gardiner from Lakshore

Ramps

a-DVP N. to Bloor to Bayview S. to Don Valley to Don Valley S. ramp (You'll see me here alot cause I live downtown, I'm the guy in your rear view mirror or leaving you behind)
b-DVP Lawrence ramps - lots of cops
c-DVP N. to Don Mills N. to DVP S. to Don Mills S. u-turn (if possible) before O'Connor to DVP S. and do Bloor ramps
c1-if not safe to do u-turn at O'Connor then turn right on O'Connor till Pottery and go Bayview S. Do Bloor ramp again.

That's the best I got for Downtown Toronto. Anyone else know of some great places to either go fast or good turns please chime in!
 
I really got to shake my head when Mississauga Rd is brought up as a good riding road.

Really? Mississauga Rd?????
 
There are some short sections of Mississauga Road S of Dundas to the Lakeshore that provide a bit of fun when combined with the end of Collegeway and no traffic.
You take what you get.

North of that fugedaboudit. The mucked up Sawmill with stop signs.
 
Yup, I know. I used to live in the townhouses just to the north of Dundas and Miss. Rd.
That's my church up on the hill.

+1 short but sweet
 
DVP ramps is my nightly route. Keep looking for you but haven't seen you - front or back. PM when you want to head out. Lead and I'll follow.
