2014 cycling brochure

There are two types of bicycle routes in Huron County, those suited for both road and all-terrain bicycles, and those with conditions suited more specifically for the all-terrain cyclist. The former are paved roads which are excellent for either style of bicycle. The latter are gravel roads suited for all-terrain bicycles. The landscape varies from rolling hills to flat, with the occasional challenging hill. Services are generally separated by a distance of 8 miles/12 km. In Huron County, cyclists can visit our many historic sites and museums, enjoy an evening or matineé performance at our theatres, explore our numerous specialty shops and art studios, picnic at one of our many parks and conservation areas, swim at some of the best beaches in Ontario, or just enjoy some beautiful rural landscapes! Most of the outlined routes are designed in such a way that the cyclist can end their trek at the same place as they started. Some routes also have several different alternatives, and cyclists are encouraged to develop their own routes. Several self- guided heritage walking or cycling guides are available for exploring the historic buildings and streetscapes of Goderich, Bayfield and Seaforth. These guides are available at regional visitor centres or by contacting the address or numbers on the back of this brochure. The Goderich to Auburn Rail Trail (G.A.R.T) and certain conservation areas also offer excellent off-road cycling opportunities. Details on these areas are outlined in the Huron County Vacation Guide and Hiking Guide. These routes (see map on reverse) are centred around various towns and villages using only paved roads and avoiding Provincial Highways where possible. Each route begins from and returns to a town or village. ‘In town’ routes are not evident on the map but are described below as “leaving” and “returning”.

There are two types of bicycle routes in Huron County, those suited for both road and all-terrain bicycles, and those with conditions suited more specifi cally for the all-terrain cyclist. The former are paved roads which are excellent for either style of bicycle. The latter are gravel roads suited for all-terrain bicycles.

Bicycles are vehicles too! Be alert of all road users at all times. Expect respect.4. Cars and trucks are vehicles too! Expect respect.5. Be seen from dusk to dawn - Use lights and refl ectors on front and rear of bicycles.

How CYCLISTS “Share the Road”1. Obey the Law: “Same Roads, Same Rules, Same Rights” Stopping at a STOP sign takes less than 10 seconds. Know and ride by the laws.

2. Ride single fi le when appropriate: “Single up” before causing vehicles to unnecessarily slow down. Ride in groups of six or less.

3. Always use hand signals: Be seen and let drivers be alert to your intentions by using hand signals. Signaling costs nothing and saves lives.
