Finally a nice day!! With temperatures in the mid teens the ride was a real pleasure.

I went out along Reg Rd 69 by St. Anns and instead of turning around at RR 24 I continued on 69 easterly until I came to Effingham Rd. Right turn here and this was a real pleasure, uphill twisters as you climb the escarpment. This is another road I had heard about on Great Ontario Bike Roads. http://bikeroads.atspace.com/
Read through the "contributions" area for tons of different roads to try. A short but sweet one near home is at the top of Diltz Rd. turn right along RR 45. I like to go this way when doing the "69 route". Just watch out for the 2 one lane bridges.

Last Saturday I went to the Bike Show at the Automotive Building at the Ex, and I was not too impressed. About 50 nice customized beauties, with 40 grand price tags. But after walking around the whole thing 3 times, we went home, an hour and a half after we arrived.
