It was my god-daughters birthday this weekend so I made a trip up to the Bruce to spend some time with her and her folks.
My plan this weekend was up to highway #10 through Orangeville (B), then west on Wellington Road 109 (highway #9) through Arthur (C), then Harriston (D), through the Fultons (E) and on into Belmore (F), my destination for the weekend.
Saturday was hot, 30 degrees in the city and the ride home Sunday was even hotter … and humid!
Fields of gold through Wellington County (just after B):
The Grand River (between B and C):
Now entering Bruce County (between E and F):
Same intersection, just a different angle (between E and F):
There is green all around me … isn’t there a song about that (Johnny Cash – 40 shades of green) just outside Belmore – F:

This is a shot of the ring around Orangeville (B):
Now entering the Escarpment (olde Baseline Road – between highway #10 and Mississauga Rd):
The Bad Lands – In the Escarpment:
While resting, I bumped into this really cool couple riding a hip Johnny Pag Chopper … this is a great looking little bike and you would never guess that it is only 300CC’s:
Still resting ….
That was my weekend. 350 KM round trip, 1 night stay over, good times with good friends, and a BBQ to remember.
There’s something in that country air …
