Algonquin Park Road Trip

[Bob_Defly]

Hey guys, for anyone that is interested in riding in North America, I put together a video of my last road trip, a ride around Algonquin Park in Ontario. It was only a long weekend, but it was good to get away for a bit. Total trip was about 1,300km.

The MT-09 isn't really built for touring, but does a pretty admirable job considering. It's about 225km between petrol stations so I took a spare fuel bottle along the way, which I actually managed to lose because I didn't secure it properly, doh!

The roads where I live (Southern Ontario) are ridiculously straight (grid pattern), so even though out in the sticks here, it's more sweeping bends than Cat & Fiddle hairpins, it's still an amazing ride. Plus you have to like forests and lakes, because that's all there is to see ha ha!

I did get caught in a couple of immense storms, just bought some better rain gear this weekend. And it's ridiculously hot in the Summer where I am, regularly above 30C and 70%-100% humidity. Mesh all the way!

I'd say ave speed was about 70-80mph, fast enough for fun, but I wasn't in a rush.

I did that in a hire car a few years back. Ottawa to Lake Superior and back in 3 days. Via Algonquin.
Forgot my mozzie repellent to which was a major error.
Fabulous place, I loved it.

Yes, the mozzies are big and aggressive!
