A Bike Ride in the Woods!

Today was an exceptional day of this holiday. It began with I going onto a web site. Giving information on biking in the Bruce Peninsula. The site recommended to go biking in "Macgregor Point Provincial Park". Which is located very close to Port Elgin. This is how great days on a trip evolve. You start with an idea. Then try and take it to a completely different level. And it happended!

This is how this day unfolded. Oh yes and Mother Nature when again at her finest! Thanks again Mother Nature for your contribution to this wonderful day. That was oh so enjoyed by the "Travel Wolfe"!

After I consumed some breakfast. I set my GPS for Macgregor Point Provincial Park and was on my way. I arrived in "Macgregor Point Provincial Park" before 10 am. I found out from the park staff that there were trails in the park. That were dedicated to cyclists. I had that feeling coming on. The kid in a candy store feeling. That the day is going to be great, and your going to have a fun time. Also I found out that "Macgregor Point Provincial Park" has it's own convenience store. Providing everything you could ask for from firewood to ice-cream!

I was also told that there was an off road route to take me into Port Elgin from Macgregor Point Provincial Park. So I now set my plans for the day. I would ride to Port Elgin from the park. Then continue to ride from Port Elgin along the "North Shore Trail" all the way to downtown Southampton.

I started riding though the woods from the convenience store on the "Deer Run Trail". Which then connected me to the "Rotary Trail". I was now riding in the direction of Port Elgin. Then when the Rotary Trail had come to an end. There was another trail. The "Gore Drain Trail" that led me to highway 21 and almost to downtown Port Elgin. I then decided to stop for lunch at the "Union Burger" place. Which offers high quality burger and fries for low prices. After another great lunch at Union Burger. I then rode to the beach in Port Elgin and relaxed there for awhile.Then continued on the "North Shore Trail" all the way following Lake Huron to downtown Southampton. I inquired about going on the Chantry Island tour. Which I will be doing tomorrow.

I enjoyed a very relaxed pace on the return ride. back to the Park Store located in Macgregor Point Provincial Park. I celebrated the fun and unique bike ride. Enjoying a frozen coconut yogurt from the Park Store. The bike ride today. Has made my list of all time favorite bike rides! I have included the photos from today!

Here is the site I found on net. Which helped to create this great day! http://www.brucecountytrails.com/trailarticle.php?NewsID=40
