Dipping a Toe in Georgian Bay

The plan:







The execution:


Why you going looking for the Niagara Escarpment: it's the only place where you're not riding on the crown of your tire all the time in Southern Ontario.


A bit windy, but otherwise perfect weather.  24°C in Elora down to 18°C on Georgian Bay in Thornbury; comfortable without ever being sweaty.  The 360° shots are from a Ricoh Theta 360° Camera, the rest are taken from my Samsung S5 smartphone.  Videos are at the bottom.

Getting ready for liftoff.






The wind fields of Shelburne


The look on my face when I'm about to ride up River Road out of Hornings Mills.




A thumbs up from Max, he likes the twisties.


A pheasant and baby!  But you can't see it due to poor resolution and lens distortion.  The Theta is an interesting idea,
but even with giant, unwieldy files, it still has poor image quality.

Big sky on the never ending farm field ride home.












Another Tiger double take.  There is another!

Creemore for lunch at The Old Mill House Pub (never had a bad meal there)


The new adventurers (a Kawasaki Versys & Suzuki V-Strom), along with the Tiger
that has always been (mine's 13 years older - made back before Ewan & Charlie did that thing)
