I awoke in Perkinsfield to pouring rain and considering the condition of my front tire the idea of riding in it didn’t seem very smart. Eventually, the rain subsided and I started heading north again. Up the 400 along the side of Georgian Bay and into the Muskoka Lakes via 69 and south along 169 through towns like Bala, Torrance and eventually Gravenhurst.

At this point I had to stop to stretch out some sore muscles and a numb bum. My ride was taking a lot longer then expected largely due to several slow moving campers and grandpa’s in their Buicks. Since I was under some time constraints, I needed to pick up the pace. So with that in mind, I cut my route short and hooked up with HWY11 and eventually the 400 again, leading me back to the city after putting on about 320km at the end of the day.
