Weekend Trip: Riding around Barry's Bay and Calabogie Area

[kurtrules]

I don't know how you guys did Calabogie in one day. It's a 6 hour round trip just to get there and you can easily ride another 6 hours on the roads in the area.

The key is to leave early, really early. Did it twice, once solo (left Burlington at 4am), once with Shane (left Mississauga 5:30am)

Yup. Still makes for a long day…but a fun day!

Ashgrove Inn in Barry’s Bay is good place to stay.
Good restaurant as well.

Wow, great trip. Thanks for sharing! I actually did this trip solo around the same time as you, stayed the night at an Airbnb. Some of the roads really impressed me. I aspire to be like the dude on 600rr, touring on a SS bike. Not sure if my wrists and back would agree.
