I headed up the east side of Simcoe trying to stick to dirt but at least stuck to the roads with the most turns. The route included Wiley/Alvar roads, Back River Road, Housey's Rapids Rd. I saw a few big bikes but not many bikes in general. I carried enough fuel for the trip and packed a lunch to avoid any stops. I think I'll find a way to extend the route for my next outing, it would be nice if crown land camping...

Of course there are some nasty rutted out muddy areas that the 4x4's have torn up, but nothing you wouldn't expect from this time of year.

Unfortunately after a gorgeous summer we picked the week when it decide to start raining. We managed to do the first two sections on the first day but it started to rain around noon. This was left over from hurricane Gordon. The rain continued to intensify to a steady heavy rain.
As we slept it rained three inches and when we looked out in the...

I eventually headed off at 8.00 am on Saturday Morning. Traveling up the 400 towards Coopers Falls was not a highlight of the trip, neither was stopping at the En-Route service station.
