FIND THE LINE: Riding The TAY-HAVELOCK Rail Trail

At 145km long, the Tay-Havelock Trail is a part of the Trans-Canada Trail network. It's the same trail that I tried riding west from the town of Sharbot Lake last summer. (That didn't go so well for me with the trail being totally flooded out and impassable by bike.)
I've been wanting to ride the Tay-Havelock Trail between Glen Tay & Sharbot Lake, Ontario for almost a year. It's only a small 35km slice of the trail, but it passes through some of my favourite countryside and I was curious to see what the trail was like.
It may have been the second longest day of the year, but I had a later start than I hoped for and needed to do the trail both directions. I knew I'd have to find the line to make good time through the trail because I'd be chasing the sun to get back to the car before dark.
This was my experience riding the Tay-Havelock Trail and it didn't disappoint.

A very timely report. Thanks, Steve. This ride is on my summer list.

Have a great trip! I'm sure you'll enjoy it! Video doesn't do it justice.

How are the deer flies out that way?

If you go out, bring some bug spray. When I was out, they weren't too bad, but in a few spots they got a bit thick when I stopped. As long as I was moving, they left me alone. It's deerfly and horsefly country out there.
