Thursday, October 8th and a break in the clouds. Jumped on the bike and tried a new route. I went to Hamilton and followed the Beach Strip through to Burlington. I then went up Guelph Line and was quite surprised at some of the views. Just north of Burlington there were a few million dollar spreads with acred lots, real gems! I then went through a wonderful little town, Lowville, with a fantastic looking golf course. The escarpment was in the background and the course was quite hilly, looked like a big scoring and big dollar place. The road was twisty and hilly making for biking fun! The next town was Campbellville with a nice little roadside rest spot.

I proceeded north and hooked up to Hwy 124 (formerly 24) and then hwy 10 when I went through Erin, the 40kph agony!

I pulled into Orangeville and had some lunch at the A&W, had a Uncle burger which tasted like a Schneiders burger fried in about 3" of fat.... yeech!! My first and last uncle burger.

I went about another 10 km north of Orangeville and turned right towards Mono Cliffs Provincial Park. This is mostly a series of trails with a lookout down a small valley, but the colours where not really in their prime quite yet. I did get the picture above as I walked down one of the trails to the lookout. But the snaps from the lookout were not that great.
