March 15 the ride started out with them intending to do a quick loop to Owen Sound but after pouring over the trail map, Tobermory looked like a double challenge. They made their way up through Sauble Beach, Wiarton, Lion’s Head and on to Tobermory. The tight trail between Lion’s Head and Tobermory made for very slow going. The biggest task for the trip home was timing the fuel stops. Few gas stations on the trail are open 24 hours. Maximum mileage per tank is approximately 125 miles, so they took the trail to Wiarton and topped up. A fellow sledder, Evert was amused by their unusual quest, and was happy to help out.
