Looking for recommendations of roads / loops around Wasaga Beach and Collingwood. Going up soon and want to trailer the bike up for a 2-4hr ride.

Wasaga Beach and Collingwood area?
- Thread starter mimico_polak
- Start date
"sburns" Has a route that is pretty close to what I do.
Being an Ex Ski patroller.
Just for variety. Starting off from Caledon Ski Club. North to River road. Going West. Collingwood area. T Going through the no longer open. Via Flesherton. Talisman Ski Club. Via, Takes me to Beaver Valley. Possible via Pretty River road. It is very much a mish mash route. From the top the of Collingwood, heading the top of the crest and looking down on Georgian Bay. A few nice twisties on the way down. Takes you towards Just South of Collingwood. Stopping at Timmies on Poplar Road. Not sure of the exact location. There is a Macewens,7618 Poplar Sideroad Unit 3, Collingwood, ON L9Y 0G5, Going South route 26. If you have missed Pretty River Road, you can do it now. You can also pick up River road. On Airport Road at new Shell Gas Station. Head East towards Alliston. Timmies and a few other coffee shops. Fish and chips in the same Plaza area. Depending, where you going home. Your Choice. I end up going South on 50. Hope this might help.
You obviously can make changes. Takes me, with lazy stops, also including SuperBurger. Highway 89 and 10. about 5 `ish hours.

My pleasure. Long weekend. Most of the route will keep you away from traffic. Depending, of you are stay away from 10. if possible. The one place you will have tourist traffic is from the top of Blue Mountain. Great views hence the tourists.
This looks about right...
Agree 100%

Whenever I've done it, we're chatting, etc so the beer goes down over the course of about an hour and I could've been drinking water as it has no effect on me at all, but I understand, esp if you're on your own and not planning on hanging around.
Great ride. Thanks everyone! 220km loop was quite fun.

What's that large open pit?

Not sure. Looks like some quarry.

That quarry is located just west of Duntroon, at the top of the escarpment. It's on both sides of the road in that area. The photo looks like the pit on the north side. I drive by that area even time I go skiing at Blue. Here's a screen shot of the area from his map.
