I live in a suburban area of southern Ontario however I can make it to gravel roads within 30-40 minutes. Gravel is my preferred road of choice and so long as it's not posted "No Trespassing" or "Private Property" I will give it a try. That being said I do all of my riding alone so I tend to not venture too far down logging roads or muddy trails because there is often no cell phone service and if I dump the bike and break a leg it would suck. Once a year I manage to take a couple of days off work and drive the 6 hours to northern Ontario around Sault Ste. Marie - the roads up there are a blast.
Logging roads north of Aubrey Falls ON
A road that goes nowhere - potions were dug up to prevent access to a nature preserve. Near about Luther Marsh ON.
Pump jacks near Oil Springs ON
The bridge is not distorted due to the camera lens - it has been distorted by a large vehicle and subsequently closed. Near Belwood ON
This was a bad idea. After crossing the bridge deck I realized that there were hundreds of exposed and loose nails. No phone service and I could have been stuck here quite awhile until another vehicle came along.
Just one of those touristy signs you see. Still in Ontario though.
Beaver Valley ON - Nice gravel switchback with a 15-20% grade.
Excitement averted here - I walked out onto the bridge and bounced on it a few times. The deck was quite spongy and would spring 4-6 inches. Definitely wouldn't support the S10 and I. - Some place near Big Creek / Long Point ON
