We are working on a new section for our Web Page featuring "Favourite Rides". We all have a favourite afternoon and weekend run...why not share it with others?

I like riding in powder! HAHAHA!

Perhaps for us "NEWBIES" for the Orillia area, someone can post a loop that might be an enjoyable "initial introduction" to the Orillia area, a bit scenic, without too many THRILLING or hard to negotiate areas...?

Thank you

Suggest Loop(s): Take 203 south (RR Bed) to the 12th Line...203 turns to the right and follows 12th for a short distance crossing over Ridge Road. Nice run on the 203 - it meets up with the B Trail. You can turn right and follow the B trail back to Orillia via the 204 Lake trail (this is about a 1 hour loop) OR instead of turning right when you hit the B trial, go straight and take the B trail West. When you get to the B205C, follow the B205C north to the C Trail...Follow the C Trail into Coldwater and then pick up the B105C (RR Bed) which will take you back into Orillia via the 204 Lake Trail (this is about a 2.5 hour loop).

I like what I call the figure eight.From Orillia the 203 to B west or straight thru at the' T'.Follow B towards Barrie/Midland trails on Ingram road to trail 201 at the 5th, turn left and follow the 201 back to B then turn left at the 'T' and follow B east to 204 and across cooch to Orillia.3 1/2 hrs ish.
I'll also do the forementioned loop to Coldwater for "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with my wife.Change directions different runs.

I live in Jackson's Point but buy my pass at Leatherdale Marine. A loop I enjoy often is taking B103 to Innisfil and run the lake to hop on the rail line near the 401 junction. Ride the rail line to 203 and then North on B across Couchiching. South to 207 ending up at Brechin and riding the lake back to Jackson's Point.
The longer loop is 421 to B, to B204 to Coldwater for lunch, and then run B104 back to B in Orillia. 207 to Brechin.
