New tours rev engines in Waterloo

From the Waterloo Regional Tourism Marketing Corporation

WATERLOO, ON – The Waterloo Regional Tourism Marketing Corporation (WRTMC) has partnered with Southern Cruisers Riding Club (SCRC) Kitchener 270 to highlight the Region’s premier motorcycle riding roads. 

SCRC Road Captains systematically rode and documented every road in Waterloo Region to design eight riding tours. Each route highlights top sight-seeing points of interests and road riding safety in the cities of Cambridge, Kitchener and Waterloo and the four townships of North Dumfries, Wellesley, Wilmot and Woolwich. 

“The Southern cruisers CRC has did an excellent job designing trails showing the Region, while also considering rider safety,” said Susan Cudahy, general manager, Waterloo Regional Tourism Marketing Corporation. “Thoughtfully designed tours provide visitors with an opportunity to discover interesting back-roads and areas that are usually only known to locals.”

Most tours can be ridden in two hours through a diverse countryside of modern and Old Order Mennonite farms. Riders will experience some of Ontario’s most fertile and productive farmland, one of North America’s best farmer’s markets, as well as scenic heritage districts, numerous unspoiled conservation areas and natural waterways. 

“This is a win-win partnership between the WRTMC and the SCRC Kitchener 270 Chapter,” said Len Luksa, SCRC member. "With help from our sister club in Cambridge we have been able to map out some of the best riding roads in the Region. The collaborative support we received from WRTMC has made this a fun and worthwhile initiative.”

Riding tours can be printed or downloaded directly into your GPS unit (if compatible with the .gpx format).
