POINT PELEE TRIP

For 4 out of the past 5 Octobers the family has travelled to SW Ontario to stay at Point Pelee National Park. On each of trip the fat bikes have come along. That is great fun. Even though we didn't ride as much as usual this year (weather) those rides we had were excellent.

Of course there is beach riding.
Thanks to lots of wind and waves,
the beach edge close to the water
was great for riding. With a lowe
lake level this year due to our
drought I was able to ride out to the very tip. This is as far south as
one can go on mainland Canada.
There are a few islands further south
but for Canada proper this is it.

Is it a cycling destination? Not in the conventional sense. There are some trails but there isn't single track.
Still it is very pleasant and the nature (migrating birds, wild turkeys,
rare trees) make it a destination
for us. It is also a Dark Sky Reserve
so it has a lot to offer.
We'll return again.
