Calgary to Toronto and Return Motorcycle Camping Trip
Total Duration: 12 days
Total Distance Traveled: 6,906 km
Description: This is a long trip obviously but can be easily done in 5 days going out and 5 days coming back. You need a couple of days in the Toronto area though to rest up before coming back but there is plenty to see and do there. The ride along the north side of the great lakes on Hwy 17 through the Canadian shield is something to experience. The highway is smooth and windy in lots of places and very scenic. The gas stations are few and far between in some areas so watch your fuel. The speed limit is set low to 90 km/hr through much of it and there are lots of OPP cops watching for speeders. I did this same route in 2006 on my 1998 Triumph Sprint for an Iron Butt SaddleSore 2000 certification (2000 miles in 2 days). The ride out was 3,341 km done in 43.5 hours.
