Last Muskoka run, we met up at the McD's in Orangeville there at Hwys 10 & 9 and convoyed from there.
We can do Southwood Road, and I've got a couple of other ideas to add yet.
Even better if Muskoka Minute could join us, it's his backyard.

We are up to 3 Pcars....anyone else want to join the convoy? Looks like it's going to be a great day for some twisty roads with the top down!

I think I should be able to make it if I get my sons car fixed.

Here is a google map link of a run that you might like.

It is approx. 2 hours and approx. 140k
I figured to leave from tims in Bracebridge (I put homedepot) they are beside each other.
Either have lunch in Port Carling or Windermere.
Back down to Bracebridge.
This can be extended or shortened.

Here is the link. Hope it works.

The Loop is correct but the written directions are not in order.

Cheers!
Bart

What time do you think you'll be in Bracebridge?
Or are you thinking of coming this far?

Looking at 10:30 ETA in Bracebridge, according to Mapquest.
Are you good to run with us, Bart? Looking forward to getting out.

Won't know until Saturday night.

Let's touch base Saturday night.
Cheers

If you can't make it, we'll most likely still do the run you posted. The loops itself looks to be around a 2 hour drive? If so, that would put us back in Bracebridge around lunch time. Any suggestions as to good places to eat?

I'm going to try and meet you guys on Sunday.
Did you say that you would be 10:30 at Tim Horton's?

You have a few option's for lunch....
You could stop in Windermere which would be around noon.

In Bracebridge you have Boston Pizza, Nick's, The Old Station.

If you like Boston Pizza I would head to Gravenhurst and take Muskoka Beach Rd down. This is a nice Rd to drive also, and its in the right direction.

Here is a good run that will take us from Home Depot/Tim Hortons in Bracebridge to Boston Pizza in Gravenhurst.

Can someone give me a call to confirm the meet time?

Cheers!

Hey Robbie. Plan right now is BoxsterSteve and I are meeting up in Orangeville around 8am and then heading up to Bracebridge, hopefully to connect with Muskoka.

Not sure where you are and where a good spot would be. Steve - are we taking the back roads or heading right over to the 400 to go North?

I'm sure we can find a spot on the 400 somewhere where we could meet up?

Thanks I'm not sure about the timing. I'll talk to the family tonight to see if I can swing this. I'm in Markham so could either go west to meet or meet up there. Do you plan on taking interesting roads on the way North or just the 400?

Via Hwy 9 & 11 is 2 hours from Orangeville to Bracebridge.
Via Hwy 400 & 118 is over 2 1/2 hours and and extra 50-60 km.
I'm good with either, but it will obviously affect Bracebridge ETA if we go the scenic route.
To avoid highways altogether takes you via Minden and Carnarvon, a bit too far out of the way, methinks.

Most of the interesting roads will be in the Muskoka's. Normally getting there is half the fun, but in this case, the plan is to get there as quick as possible and THEN let the fun begin!
