Nice route to Dundas from Breslau area?

[Chris Pippy]

Hi WCC brain trust!

Anyone have a nice road bike route from East Waterloo/Breslau area down to Dundas and back?

Wind is out of the south tomorrow and wanted to get a nice 3-4 hours in with Lorie in the morning. 

Suggestions welcome!

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Here is a route I took last year. 

Note in Greensville just before dundas you can take Harvest Rd to get you to sydenham rd as it is a nicer decent/climb. The one in the route can be questionable with blind corners and narrower roads.

I don't have anything handy, it has been too many years since I have been that way.

If you're going east of Waterloo and south, then from Cambridge then pretty much all roads are quite south of Gore Road. Avoid 97, Brock until you have too, hwy 5 and 52.

Chad's route works. Not that you want to stop, but there are pretty much no supplies between Dundas and Cambridge.

Ok, if you are modifying the route I sent please note I did modify the route I actually took to go down Valens Rd all the way to 4th concession...don’t go down Brock road as it is to busy based on a pre-drive I did when I made the original route...anyway, have a nice ride

More food for thought.

Depending on how you head south, if you can work your way over to Middletown and take it south to Christies Corner then east on Old 8 to Bullocks Corner. While Old 8 is choppy it usually has low traffic. There is now a bike lane from Bullocks Corner to the beginning of the descent into Dundas. On the descent just take the lane and most cars will give you space. The new pavement ends once you go under the train bridge. Optional extra by taking a left (north) on Crooks Hollow Rd over to Brock Rd and then right (south) to the descent into Dundas. Crooks Hollow is a fun short and fast section. 

On Millgrove Side Rd just north of Hwy 5 there is the Dutch Mill for food/water although I'm not sure how they are operating right now.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, some good options here. We’ll bring a bit of extra food and water in case we have trouble finding a spot to refuel. 

Cheers,

Chris

Looks like there are lots of great ones already! Have to check some of these routes out. Here is one I took out to Dundas a couple of weeks ago just for future use.
