Has anyone ridden this highway lately and if so what are the roads like in terms of twisty turns and road condition ? Thanks Joe
Hwy 507 used to be a really neat tiny little twisty road. Super fun to ride. About 20 years ago it was straightened out, widened and repaved. It became a smooth road with way fewer curves. Not worth a trip to try it out. It is pleasant enough if you need to travel in the direction it goes.
Thanks Neil that's the info I was looking for . Question now becomes where are there if any nice twisty rds in Ontario.
Its worth the ride to (insert any of the following) Pennsylvania, West Virginia, south eastern Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina. There are some nice scenic roads in central and eastern Ontario with turns to them, but not like WV. Ontario's good bike roads tend to be good at super illegal speeds, and not as concentrated as they are to the south. As always, free opinions are worth about what you pay for them. Enjoy the ride, wherever you find it.
Yeah ontario really doesn't have a lot of exciting roads. I agree for some really nice twisty roads another trip south maybe the way to go.
There used to be a good website by "Biker Boy" that listed good bike roads in Ontario but it disappeared many years ago. Someone transferred the data to an Ontario road map and it was posted for a while, but it also disappeared. Fortunately, I saved a copy and knew it would come in useful one day Download it here: http://www.morphew.ca/ccr/RWM-ontario_bikeroads.jpg Bob
A fella on GTAM has a pretty decent list of Ontario roads as well: http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforu...e-The-best-roads-routes-in-Ontario-Quebec-U-S As per the map that Bob listed, I digitized those roads into a GPX and then converted it to a Garmin image file that has those routes show up as major highways so I can see if I am near a good route while wandering aimlessly. I am unable to upload the img file, but I have attached the gdb if anyone is interested.
Best road in Ontario in my opinion. Lots of newer pavement. Take it to 101 then 101 to 144 south. Half way down take a left on 560 to elk lake. 560 is also an amazing road.
