Collingwood and the Blue Mountain area on Georgian Bay are a cycling mecca (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collingwood,_Ontario)
Cycling, hiking, kiyaking, beaches, golfing, and skiing draw sports enthusiasts in all four seasons.
The area is a haven for cyclists thanks to the great terrain including the 1,000 foot Niagara Escarpment, wide and paved country roads, expansive vistas of Georgian Bay and interesting villages with bakeries and general stores that offer many temptations along your path.
Any weekend in spring, summer and fall hundreds of cyclists are on the county roads and climbing the hillsides with a club, on their own or in small groups.
Thanks to the Collingwood Cycling Club, for $65 a year you can join, join group rides with cyclists who match your talents and volunteer mentors help you hone your skills.
The knowledgeable club members help get you back on the road if you have a flat tire and make sure no one is left behind.
Different routes are set every week for varying levels of cyclists but any route is sure to show you great vistas, the view of Georgian Bay, rolling farmland or gorgeous hillside views.
That is one of the reasons cycling is drawing in so many new recruits. It’s affordable compared to many sports like golf, does not hurt your knees like running and its social.
