Would it be better to swing over to Guelph and then zig-zag north or continue along 401 to the other side of Toronto to say 12 or 35 then turn north?
Crossing at Buffalo leaves few options in road selections going in that direction.
brand new StarWhat does this friend ride and can you lead? Phil
.... Lead what?
This was mostly speculation on my part that I still might get up there.
Brent had to back out and my friend is still planning on going and I was thinking he should have a riding partner, which then starts me thinking that Sally and I should take this weekend and ride and then thinking we should head north.
It's not really procrastination on my part if it is just in time...Marty in NW PA

401 to 35 to 28 to 62 is the most direct route about 400m from marty's
about 8 hrs at the speed limit ....oh yeah chuckle ok 75 mph on the 401 and 55 on the rest for you guys any more = tickets$$
around Apsley no more than 50 it's their only revenue

OK, we're good. Border crossing 10:30, leaving Toronto on the 400 at 11:30. Average speeds with friends so 8 hrs, just a nice afternoon jaunt for me and Sally.
Where is Apsley?
Still just speculation for now.Marty in NW PA

Help me out on a couple of things - I am late to this and a slow reader:
Where is everyone staying? I see the initial and preferred plan was the Ash Grove Inn. I see this on their website:
"Romance Package (based on double occupancy)" Is is customary up there to perhaps expect ONE or THREE to make a Romance Package reservation? I might want to consider another motel. (They don't specify which gender is allowed to be in the majority either...)
Is the Mountain View acceptable? No surprises like small creatures joining us for breakfast, and typically 2 romantic individuals to a room?
Based on your calls, did either place indicate rooms might not be available soon or sooner?
Remember I will be a stranger in a strange land...Marty in NW PA

Apsley is on the hw 28 route ,it's more southern direct
You want to take the QEW to 403 go kinda north till it hits the 401 then to the 400 N to Huntsville then 60 east to B.Bay 8:30 hrs 433 miles
another way you could go is 11 N to Bracebridge 118 to 121 then 28 to 62 N through Combermere N to Barrys bay
very pretty, a bit longer 8:45 hr 439 miles
these times are speed limits no stopping no gas no 'nuthin' times by my gpsSeamus Ó hUrmholtaigh

this is one of the motels that was discussed originally Phil wanted to book the whole place and I grumped because it had no dinner facility (Breakfast only) or a room for us to hang out in after the ride. my grump was louder ;-) it's a nice placeSeamus Ó hUrmholtaigh

Taking the QEW to 407 and then to 400 might be a lot easier for anyone coming from the States or the Niagara area. If I'm not mistaken you don't pay for the 407 if you're sporting US. plates.

Double check that just in case. The 407 can get 'purrtty' expensive for that distance.

Big signs on 407 confirm they bill out of province too.
$2 to get on $2 to get off and something like 25c a kilometer in between.
budget 25 to 40 $$$$
