Places to ride in Ontario?

Just thought I'd check around to see what areas are fun to ride out in Ontario. I'm moving to London next week and after checking out Google maps, all I see are grids and grids of roads with no twisties. Please tell me I'm wrong!

Any info or help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Parry Sound has a large sportbike rally that attracts thousands of bikes every summer.

Wow, I didn't think the Paris to Cambridge back roads would rate that high, though there are a couple spots that would be fun.

Re: Places to ride in Ontario?

Some of the road names/numbers have changed so you may need to cross reference this map to a current one. (stupid government) Just in case someone gets confused. Hwy 121 between Bancroft and Haliburton one of my personal favorites is now called 118, we still have a place on that road. Some of these roads need to be respected especially the Denbigh backroads Harwood lake to Denbigh. I think that's the one were my Dad just about drove the car into the ditch because the corners are so tight. I don't have the stamina to ride all that way from London, but I plan on trailering the bike up there on my vacation.

Thanks for all the information. I have been too busy with work lately and haven't had the chance to check back here. My bike's still waiting to be shipped here to London.. so in another month I'll be riding around.

Make a trip to HWY 13, also called Southwood Rd north of Orillia.

Worth the long ride up.

Just watch out for the sand!

Some of my favorites,

36, 507, 118, 121, 632, 60 Most of the nice roads are in northern Ontario so it will be quite a trek for you.

you're not wrong.

it sucks here, and if the roads don't bore you then the police state and chancellor fantino will make sure that you're kept in check.

507 and then take 503 to 3 are good to get by on, though.
