Puggz Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'm looking for a nice day-ride close to home (Kitchener) for one day this weekend within a 2 hr drive of KW. Preferably with a decent lunch stop 1/2 way through. Also willing to join a small group if you're looking (i'll be out solo). TIA. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puggz Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'll be riding at the speed limit I should be good for at least 200km round trip. What have you got in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I would suggest staging from The King Motel parking lot or arena parking lot in Palmerston. From there I would go north then head over to Markdale. There's 2 good restaurants and fuel side by side at the south end of town and a spur trail right to them. From there you can go to Owen Sound and loop back down through Chesley and Hanover and back to Palmerston. Lots of spots with good food along the way like Varney and Clifford as well as the airport at Hanover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostyTheSnowman Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Teviotdale truck stop is a good starting place too. It’s centre to many good trails towards kincardine or to Durham or anywhere on a compass. Food and gas to start and finish a ride as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowowl Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 There's been a few good ideas mentioned, but, I was thinking of staging from the parking lot at the Groomer shed just northwest of Shelbourne and then looping to the north. Leaving 930ish Sat morning. Does this sound workable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
