Sauble Falls to Kincardine - Ontario Bike Tour #2 - Day 6 of 10
This video summarizes Day 6 of my 10 day solo bicycle trip along the shores of Lake Simcoe and Lake Huron in Southern Ontario, Canada. All of the clips in the video were filmed on Wednesday July 25, 2018.
In this video I mentioned my 2014 bike tour of the Bruce Peninsula. Unfortunately I don't have videos from that trip, however I have a photo album on my website which describes it in pretty good detail:
Starting from Sauble Falls Provincial Park I rode west on Sauble Falls Rd which changes names to Lakeshore Blvd at Lake Huron and took me into Sauble Beach. Sauble Beach is the second longest freshwater beach in Canada. When I reached Shore Rd, I jogged over to 2nd Ave S and continued south following the shoreline. Eventually this road merges with County Rd 13 which is a busy road with a bike lane. This land is all owned by the Saugeen First Nation. Eventually I turned right onto Eckford Ave, Blanchfield Rd, and Shore Rd. I briefly rode west along South Rankin St and then crossed the Saugeen River on Albert St. This brought me into the community of Southampton which is part of the municipality known as Saugeen Shores. Just off the shore of South Hampton theres an Island called Chantry Island. I made a right when I got to High St and then turned left at Huron St. This street eventually changes names to Miramichi Bay Rd and North Shore Rd. There are also sections of this route where there is a nice shoreline multi-use trail which I used. Eventually I reached the harbour of Port Elgin, where I headed inland along Market St to Goderich St. I stopped for a quick breakfast/lunch at JC's Just Good Food and also visited the Port Elgin Farmer's Market. I continued riding south along Goderich St out of Port Elgin until I reached concession rd 4 where I headed west. I turned onto Lake Range Rd which took me past MacGregor Point Provincial Park. When I reached Concession Rd 8 I jogged west and continued SW on B&C Side Rd. I again jogged west at Bruce Rd 33 and continued on Tie Rd which took me past the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station. From there I followed Concession Rd 2, Albert Rd, Victoria St, Upper Lorne Beach Rd and Bruce County Road 23 (B Line) into the town of Kincardine. Within Kincardine I explored SW along Queen St to Queen's Lookout, then up Durham Market Street to Princes Street. Next I rode down to the lake along Harbour St past Walker House and the Kincardine Lighthouse and out onto the north pier.
Strava for Day 6:
The bike I used for this trip is a New York made Linear Recumbent Bike which I believe is from around 2004. I carried my gear in 2 Giant Waterproof Panniers, and mounted my tent and sleeping pad on the top of the rack.
