September bike ride from Parry Sound to Lake Joseph / Portage Lake out and back. (about 55km) Starting at Bowes Street in Parry Sound (Trysport bike shop) south to Oastler Park Drive, Rankin Lake Road past Horseshoe Lake, Mark's Restaurant, then towards Foote's Bay past Hamer Bay Road (watch out for bears) to the small park at Portage Lake for our turnaround point.
I left the wind sound in (a request) for a bit of realism.
You look at how so much of this Former or Current 69 is Bypassed and what was once a busy stretch of the 2 Laned 69 at places like Portage Lake, Lake Joseph and Horseshoe lake seems pretty Dead now that the new 400 Freeway bypasses them now!!! But just look at how the former Truck Lanes are useful now for Cyclists like these two...It's just amazing how they can go the distance I'd probably couldn't!!!
