TOUR D'ORO-MEDONTE
Cycling bas become very popular as a recreational activity for people of all ages.
Many communities. are actively promoting cyclying by preparing maps of routes within
their communities which resident.., and tourists can use to to enjoy their favourite summer
leisure activity.
'This past July, The Tour de France received a lot of publicity with Lance AnnstTong
winning his sixth title. J am suggesting that Oro- Medonte should capitalize on this
publicity and hold a similar event in our municipality.
There are a large number of cycli.,ts in this an::a which 1 am sure would participate and
enjoy such an event.
Organizations such as the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada are conducting "Bike
Tours" across Canada which have become successful fundraising events.
An event called "TOUR D'ORO-J'vffiI)ONfE could be held the second or third weekend
of July.
It would be a two day cycling tour of Oro-Medonte designed so cyclists of all levels
could participate and enjoy themselves.
Benefits:
TOUR D'ORO-MEDONfE could be a fllndraising event. Each participant would
require sponsors with the money raised being directed for the completion of the Lake
Country Rail Trall. (Last year a bonspiel at The Coldwater Curling Cmb where 64 curlers
obtained sponsors, raised over $12,000)
A commenorative T-shirt could be given to each participant raising a minimum level of
donations ie $100 .
Residents of all ages of this Municipality could become involved in a recreational activity
and enjoy the va..c;t beauty of the Township.
Commercial benefit to local "B & Bs" could be achieved if the Chamber of Commerce
wished to become involved and promote it (as Collingwood does).

A suggested Tour D'Oro-Medonte is outJined on the accompaning map. The total
distance is approximately 150 Km.
The Tour is described in 5 "Stages" with parking lots at the beginning and end of each
stage (ideal for "Shuttle Transportation").
Riders would complete stages 1, 2, & 3 on Saturaday and stages 4 & 5 on Sunday
Stage I (green) 32 Kilometers Predominately :flat and downhill. Mostly paved.
( 2Km. of gravel, 2Km of unfinish trail)
Start at the Horse Shoe Valley Firehall and proceed south on Line 4 to Bass Lake SR;
west on Bass Lake SR to line 3; south on Line 3 to Ski Trails Rd: west on Ski Trails Rd
to Penetanguishine Rd.; south on Penetanguishine Rd. to Gore Rd.; east on Gore Rd. to
Line 1. south on line 1 to 5/6 Sideroad.; west on 5/6 Sideroad to penetanguishine Rd.
South on PenetanguiBhene Rd. to Shanty Bay Rd.: east on unfinished portion of Lake
Country Rail trail to parking lot at line 1.
Stage n (blue) 24 KiJometers The 24 Km of Rail Trail is flat with a limestone
screening base. .
The Rail Trail or part there-of could be used as the "Tour" for younger cyclists or those
not wishing to cycle on roads.
Start at the Line 1 Lake Country Rail Trail Parking Lot and proceed to Line 15 parking
lot,
Stage ill (yellow) 17 Kilometers. Several moderate hills to climb. (Some cyclists
may choose not to do this stage as it will cause heavy breathing coming at the end of a
day of easy riding)
Start at Line 15 parking lot. north on Line 15 to Bass Lake Sideroad, west on Bass Lake
..&R to Line 10 and north on Line 10 to the Jarratt Community Hall.

Start at Jarratt Hall, west on Horseshoe VaJIey Road to Line 9, north on Line 9 to the
Moonstone Rd., west on Moonstone Rd. to Line 8, north on Line 8 to Vasey Rd., west
on V a.~ey Rd. to Line 3, south on L1ne 3 to :Moonstone Rd. west on Moonstone Rd.to
Scarlett Line, soUtll on Scarlett Line to Mt. St. Louis Rd. east on Mt. St.Louis Rd to Mt.

Stage V 30 Kilometers (orange) Beautiful scenery, moderate rolling hills on paved
roads. .. and a relaxed :fitillIhH

Line 6, south on Une 6 to MiD Pond road, east on Mill Pond Rd. to Line 7, south on
Line 710 15/16 Sideroad, east on 15/16 Sideroad 10 Line 11, South on LineH through the
Village of Hawkes tone to Hawkestone Community Hall or Park..
*** For the mountain bikers there could be an optional 5 Km. off road segment added
to each stage. 'The off road trails would be through County Forests adjacent to the main
route
Traffic Concerns:
That portion of the Tour which would. not be on the Rail Trail would be conducted
primar1y on Township Roads. A limited amount of travel on County roads would be
necessat)'. The most travel on a County road would be on the Vasey Rd. which has the
least traffic of all county roads travelled. Line 7 would be used on Sunday when the
gravel trucks are not present.
It would not be necessary to close roads to traffic. Posting of warning signs on the daily
stages and the strategic placement of the Opp" Radar Board" should be sufficient..
THE TOUR D'ORO-:MEDONfE SHOUlD NOT BE PROMOTED AS A RACE.
P ARTICIP ANTS SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO CYCLE AT A COMFORTABLE
SPEED AND ONLY DO DISTANCES AND TERRAIN wmCH THEY HAVE DONE
BEFORE I!.
