Trans Canadian Trail in Ontario? Just wondering, because I spent some time travelling that route and I'll likely go back over the next few years.

Nope! A route I called QB-5, highlighted at the beginning of this thread, based on a few portions of GravelTravel.ca routes. It was approximately what's shown below, and was fantastic if you're looking for local (to upstate NY) overland trips. Easily could have made the route last 5-6 full days on trail at the rate our group was going with kids and families. Happy to send you GPX files if you're interested.

Thanks for the info. I might take you up on that offer.
Have you considered sending the GPS route to the folks at Gravel Travel as well? I've found it to be a very useful tool for exploring Canada.

@deadly99 above is Ted who is the guy behind GravelTravel. We've been in touch since (and throughout, since I didn't want to chop up his routes without asking) but I don't think I've sent him this route. I'll have to get him the files one of these days!
Let me know if you do ever end up wanting the file.

Hey neighbor!
I was really disappointed in myself for how long this took me to write. My blogs during cycling and backpacking trips were always posted the morning after, but for some reason keeping notes and actually having time to sit down on this trip and write wasn't as easy. It's definitely something I have to work on for our next overland trip so I can ensure a more rigid publishing structure.
Thanks for the kind words. Really glad you enjoyed the images and trip report!
Im sorry if my comment sounded like a criticism, it wasn't in any way- just the opposite- it was so good that any waiting would have been frustrating!
I totally get how you want the write up to accurately reflect what you experienced and also adding pics is another piece that is time consuming. This was extremely well done. But like a book some times when you're reading a good one you don't want to stop!
Safe travels!

Oh no, it didn't come off that way at all! My response was more self criticism.
Greatly appreciate the enthusiasm and appreciation for the writing and imagery. I hope to be able to do something annually to this regard.
Do you have any involvement in the New England overland scene?
