Beautiful pictures.  What a wonderful looking ride--a strange combination of serene and thrilling!

I was out for a ride today and now I realize how sad it is here in Southern Ontario.... it was a straight boring highway ride for about 40 min so I can find a few streches of curves each about 1 1/2 km long and ride them over and over.... I think I need to move to a more bike oriented part of the world.

Looked like a nice ride though... mabey next summer I will pass by that way!!

dude - there are plenty in Southern Ontario.  You just need to know where to find them...  Here's Forks of Credit  (by the Milton - west end of GTA) as just one example...

Nice pics.
I'm jealous that you're so close to such nice turns over a fairly long stretch of road.

From what I've found so far, some of the roads close to where I live do have some nice turns... they're just usually seperated by very long stretches of straights or numerous gradual curves.

Bargovic, I need to head out west your ways a bit and try out some of the roads there.  I went backpacking on the Loyalsock Trail a couple years ago and recall some enjoyable roads around there.  Lots of corners and some nice scenic areas as well.  Maybe I'll take a bit of a longer trip out that way before it starts getting to cold around here.   ;)
