Another beauty day for May so we are heading up to North Bay. (The BF needed smokes so I planned a nice backroad tour) Started out just before 10am, it was already warm, but not overwhelming warm, just perfect riding weather.
Round Trip: 181 mi / 291.29 km
From there we turned right onto hwy 124 and stopped at a picnic area. (That is where I realized my bell was gone)
Eventually 124 runs out and there is no choice but to connect back onto hwy 11. At least it was only a little ways until we exited at Trout Creek. All was going according to plan until we missed turning on 522 and continued straight which was 522B. It ended up being a short cut to get into North Bay. Even though the pavement turned to a hard packed gravel road it wasn't a bad road to ride.
Here is the route we took there
We were back on track when it dumped us out on the 534. Just a slight miscalculation when we went right which brought us back to hwy 11. Made a turn around and continued on. That is what motorcycling is all about <grin>
We turned onto the 654 then made a left onto the 94 where we pulled off at a beautiful lookout spot overlooking Callandar Bay/Lake Nipissing.
When we left North Bay we just took Hwy 11 then exited on Callander Bay Dr. and stopped at Centennial Park.
We took the same route along the 654 and when it ended we decided to go right on 534. That was the way I had originally plotted out the route for the way up. It was a really long way around to get back onto the 522. Although it was nice to have the two versions and see something a little different on the way back. We took hwy 11 back to Burk's Falls then the back road home.
Here is the route we took back
Until next time... Keep
Cruising Through Life & Enjoying The Ride
