Destination Tobermory

With crystal clear waters, scenic vistas, and hundreds of miles of secondary roadways to explore the Bruce Peninsula cyclists will soon fall in love with this finger of land pointing northwards. Bring your bike or make the Bruce part of a fall cycling tour. There are plenty of places to camp, eat, or even rent a cottage for a few days.

The roadways in this area are irregular to say the least so be sure you have good quality maps of the area or even a GPS to help find your way around. If you're cycling along #6 highway, which is the main artery between Wiarton and Tobermory, proceed with caution. This is a well maintained highway but being the only major roadway in the area it carries a considerable volume of traffic. There are no paved shoulders.

Fall is a great time to explore the backroads of the Bruce by bike. Plan a trip this fall; you won't be disappointed.
