May 2018 - 9 Day Bike Tour:    • Ontario Bike Tour - May 2018  


This video summarizes Day 10 of my 10 day solo bicycle trip along the shores of Lake Simcoe and Lake Huron in Southern Ontario, Canada. All of the clips in the video were filmed on Sunday July 28, 2018.

Starting at Guelph Lake I turned right from Conservation Rd onto Watson Rd and headed North West. At Mill Rd I turned right and headed down a hill into the Speed River valley. At the top of the other side of the valley I turned right onto Jones Baseline. Approaching County Rd 124, the road curves around the East end of Guelph Lake. Looking back over the lake, the water was very calm and I could see some people rowing. I joined County Rd 124 and headed North East. I turned right onto the 4th line and rode past the Stone United Church. When I reached Highway 7, I detoured North East to the entrance of Rockwood Conservation Area on Fall St. I did a quick tour through Rockwood down to the Eramosa River where the rock cliff faces are. I then continued South East along Guelph Line (Wellington Rd 44), then turned right onto Indian Trail. I turned left onto Ash St and passed through the historic community of Eden Mills. After a short stretch on Wilson St I joined the 2nd line which I rode on for the next 13.5 kilometers. Near the beginning of that Second Line stretch I crossed into the Town of Milton which is within Halton Region. When I reached Sideroad 10 I turned right and jogged over to the First Line Nassagaweya where I continued South East to cross over Highway 401. After a few twists and turned the name of the road changes to McNiven Rd. After crossing Derry Rd, I had now entered the City of Burlington. Despite seeing a sign which said that a large section of Cedar Springs Rd was closed for construction, I turned right onto it. After reaching Britannia Rd the construction area ended and I spotted a large group of road cyclists. As I continued there was lots of hill climbing as I reached the top of the Niagara Escarpment and entered the Hamilton Harbour Watershed coming down the other side. After crossing Dundas St the name of the road changes to Brant St as I made my way down the big hill into Burlington. After Crossing Highway 407 and 403 I turned left onto Plains Rd and entered the Burlington GO station where I caught a train back to Toronto.


Strava for Day 10:   / strava  

The bike I used for this trip is a New York made Linear Recumbent Bike which I believe is from around 2004. I carried my gear in 2 Giant Waterproof Panniers, and mounted my tent and sleeping pad on the top of the rack.
