Great Cycling on the World’s Largest Freshwater Island

The quiet roads and expanding bike infrastructure on Manitoulin Island
I’m fighting, heading west on Highway 540 toward Gore Bay. Unfortunately for me, the 49 km/h wind gusts are heading east.

I started out in Providence Bay, 60 km ago, on the south end of Manitoulin Island with a plan to make a 100-km counterclockwise loop around Mindemoya and Kagawong Lakes. The final destination: the Huron Sands Motel for its mouth-watering Eastern European menu. I can practically taste the pierogi as I pedal. But the wind is doing its best to knock the taste right out . . .
