Thanks for posting this route. I rode it clockwise starting in Peterborough. The ride across Landsdowne St in Peterborough was pretty crap and I found it hilarious that a bike lane appeared for a block or so. As soon as it went to 80k speed limit, I rode on the gravel shoulder. Luckily, as soon as I turned on Davis Rd, things got way better. Stewart Line was an awesome paved road, not much traffic and a little hilly (more than I was expecting) but all good. After Stewart is a right onto a Fire Road and it was steep and rocky...I'm a pretty competent mtn biker but on my gravel bike, I walked the top part and rode after the grade became more reasonable. A bunch of turns after that and then onto Victoria Rail Trail which was a little bumpy but all good. Hit the TransCan trail in Lindsay and smooth sailing til I got back. Super scenic and really beautiful.
