Where did you ride today?

I am visiting Ontario Canada this week and decided to ride one of the top recommended roads due to the no. of curves in Northern ON. Its in a place called Muskoka (cottage country) and road itself is called Southwood rd. 36 KM of sheer beautiful, curvy roads that was an absolute hoot to ride.

33 km of uninterrupted twists and turns make this route to Muskoka one of Ontario's best motorcycle roads. https://www.northernontario.travel/motorcycle-touring/best-roads-in-ontario-southwood-road-in-muskoka

Is that a speed camera on the Bell dish to the left of the Bala sign?

no. its an old school dish antenna. In Ontario, there is a law to display visible signs where ever a speed camera is installed and the camera's themselves look different like the example below.

York Region expanding automated speed enforcement

Data shows cameras reduced driving speed by 12 km/h near Newmarket High School, where the one camera in Newmarket currently operates

I've been a bike race Marshall a few times, and it's always been fun for me.

Then again, I'm not pedaling.

Some here will remember ShawnK, who's left the forum, but he is heavily involved with finding and supplying marshalls for triathlon events.

Bringing back memories of my trip up and down the Dempster back in 96. Are you turning around at Inuvik, or are you now going further north to Tuktoyaktuk. Back in 96 there was no road from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk. Safe travels and be careful if the road is wet with calcium chloride. Slippery as snot.

Living in a big city suburban since many decades, I now really enjoy riding on the small rural roads.
It reminds me my teenage years, that I have spent on a farm. That was in the mid-seventies...
Back then, for years, I felt like I had been sent away, on a very distant place... far from everything.
We only had one TV channel : a boring one.
I only had one dream then... one day, I would leave this place... forever.
Forty years later... I feel so nostalgic riding around farms...
I just feel home again.
How ironic is that.

I couldn't resist stopping to take a picture of this friendly looking old tractor. A Farmall "Super A".
