North of Barrie, Ontario, the Simcoe County Loop Trail is a 160 KM route that links rail trails and multi use trails. It links together the picturesque lakeshore towns of Orillia, Midland and Penatanguishene and takes in villages like Coldwater, Wyvale and Elmvale on the way. I started in the thriving City of Barrie, just a short 45 minute drive north of Toronto.
I took 2 days to ride the loop and my Giant Defy Advanced 2 endurance bike with 34 mm WTB Byway 34 tires, was more than up for the challenge. This would be easily accomplished on most road bikes, but I would suggest that you have them equipped with at least 28 mm tires.
