Hi Akarius,

I'm from Manitoba but I took my bike along on a trip to Stratford, ON this past summer. I had a great time riding around Perth County. Compared to the rough, flat and windy roads in Manitoba, this area was a paradise. Nice smooth asphalt, very little traffic, beautiful huge Maple trees lining the roads, historic stone farm houses to look at, farmers markets to stop and browse. It's really a great cycle touring area and in fact the local tourism offices have maps with plenty of great cycling day trips. We combined taking in plays at the Stratford festival, staying at local B&B's (plentiful) and riding out of Stratford each morning for a 30 - 60km ride in Perth County. I'm hoping to do it again next summer.

Cheers,

RJ
