More northern Ontario back roads

Ranger Lake Road, north of Sault St Marie.












and no northern Ontario ride is complete without a great pile of bear poo.

Hello Nick - I really enjoy looking at your photos with the Eldorado on a winding gravel road beside a northern lake.   Thanks for posting!

If you want to add more dirt to that route, try heading north from Bruce Mines towards Carpenter Lake and Garden Lake. If you don't get lost, you should end up on Ranger Lake Rd about 20 km west of Ranger Lake, 30 km east of Searchmont.

Thanks folks.

Peter..I stopped in Dorset on the way up.

Dusty..nope.

Sturgeon..I noticed that road...Perhaps next time

Green1000s...it gets better all the time. 89000 miles and nicely broken in. They thrive on regular use.

Me too.   Great pictures, and I'm convinced that a Loopframe makes it more fun, even if there is bear poo involved!

Nick, I always enjoy your posts. It's my birthday next week and I'm not supposed to know but, one of my daughters has bought me "Beyond the Coffee Shop". I did leave plenty of hints.

It will be great to know it's being read in wildest Wales - I hope you have a very happy birthday.

BTW, while on the road I sold two copies to people who were drawn to the bike like moths to a flame. I just happened to have some copies with me..........

Nick, I'm curious. Howcome your book is only available online on Amazon, and not on a Canuck site like Indigo?

Because Amazon provides the tools for self publishing, creates the Kindle version and handles the print-on-demand. No cost to the author at all, except the time to write it and format it.  It is available on Amazon.ca (and .co.uk etc.) in both digital and print.
