Goose and Coach LD led 'Bent and me on a tour of the Wasage Beach area. We started on the Carly Patterson Memorial Trail, which weaves through beautiful, mature forest - surprising because it's surrounded by a subdivision and open fields.
We headed over to the beach on a clear, hot Sunday in July during a pandemic. We had some company! Georgian Bay views are always lovely and the beachside atmosphere felt like stepping back in time. We admired the view, then rode near the water for a while on a mix of trails and quiet roads.
To get to Wasaga Beach Provincial Park, we had to ride a short distance on busy roads, which challenged my comfort zone *severely*. On the bright side, we got to use the Pridewalk.
We survived and rode into the ski trails. The riding in the park was fun with lots of punchy hills on pretty trails. It was very sandy in places because of the dunes, and most trails were lined with a ton of poison ivy. Everyone must have been at the beach because we only saw a handful of people.
We returned to the Carly Patterson trail by a different route and rode back to our car. It seemed like a good time to try Lorna Dune's ice cream shop, which had yummy Kawartha Dairy Moose Tracks ice cream. Perfect for recovery. :) Thanks for the tour, Coach LD and Goose!
