Been looking for someone to go up with to ride the course prior. Let me figure the schedule and I'll reply on this thread to confirm and organize logistics.

Should be fun.

I'll be up North the night prior and am planning to be at the resort to ride in the morning (around 8-9ish I guess) - assuming of course my lazy butt gets out of bed.

Short notice but I'll be there tomorrow morning if anybody... Planning to start around 10am-ish...

 

Hoping the road conditions will be better than last year with the road constructions...

Have not registered yet - but plan to do Muskoka 70.3- for the experience, with the July HIM- Peterborough race as well. Plans are to do Mt Tremblant 2013 full ( again just to finish- er with a smile) , so I thought the Muskoka challenge would give me some 'grit'.

Someone in my swim group was saying that the South/North Portage road was fixed up (I can never remember which one)! Have a great ride!

So, I've been riding today.

First off, I forgot how hilly and difficult it was !! Tongue out

Road conditions are almost OK. Two things to be aware of:

- The portion of the road where there was constuction is not very pretty. I really don't know if they finished or if they planned to finish this year but it is almost the same as during the race...

- Be VERY careful on Dwight Beach road. During the first part when in descent, there is a huge pothole in the middle of the road. If you're a little bit too much in the middle of the road, you'll be in trouble !

Other than those two points, this ride is still magical. A beast that will eat your legs

Enjoy the ride !

Rode the course this past weekend - in 35C weather.  It was a touch hot, but luckily it was a bit windy + lots of shade for the last 30km.

Take note for anyone going out to ride the course.  South Portage Rd has about a 1.5-2km stretch where they have dug it up and it's all gravel.  I would recommend not riding the race tires for any training rides at the moment.  Looks like the construction will be there for a while.

Otherwise, this was a great reminder of what a test this course is for the legs.  Remember to save something for the last 30km of the ride....oh yeah, and there's a run after.
