Day 1

Sunshine City Cycle Tour/Couchiching Craft Brewery

Start out mid morning with a sightseeing tour of Orillia's waterfront and historic sites, the Sunshine City Cycle Tour. Sights include two beautiful lakefront parks, the more than 5000-year-old Mnjikaning Fish Weirs, and the Stephen Leacock property. Finish up with lunch and beer tasting in downtown Orillia at the Couchiching Craft Beer Co. Spend the night at the Champlain Waterfront Hotel or the Best Western Mariposa.

Included: Lunch, Beer Tasting
Distance: ~25  km

Day 2

Severn and Oro-Medonte Townships/Quayle's Brewery

Day 2 is a self-guided tour to Quayle's Brewery with two route options. The easier route starts on the Simcoe Loop Trail rail trail path before turning onto some quiet backroads of Severn and Oro-Medonte townships. The more challenging route is longer and mostly on paved roads. There is a hill to climb to finish at Quayle's Brewery - totally worth it for the spectacular view and delicious beer!  After lunch and beer tasting, we shuttle you and your bike back to Orillia to end the day and the tour.
Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Beer Tasting
Distance: 25 km or 45km
