FAQs

A fully planned, self-guided three-day ride (October 2–4, 2026) through Muskoka, Parry Sound, and Algonquin at peak fall colour. Your price covers two nights of vetted accommodation, restaurant reservations, a curated route, and a support vehicle with assistants. You ride your own bike — everything else is taken care of.

No. Technically is a self-guided tour. You’ll receive a detailed route and itinerary, and a support vehicle is following with support crew from What A Ride, but you are responsible for your own riding. Support crew are not guides.

Saturday is a big day — roughly 500 km of twisty backroads northwest through Parry Sound, with a lunch stop about halfway and a stop at the Screaming Heads in Burk’s Falls. Sunday is around 340 km east through Algonquin Park on Highway 60, before everyone heads home.

The tour runs rain or shine. It’s the last long weekend of the riding season — sometimes you ride in the rain. If conditions get rough, we’ll adjust on the fly.

Huntsville, Friday evening October 2. It’s an easy after-work ride up from the GTA — about three hours or less — with a welcome dinner at Deerhurst Resort with one of your hosts from What a Ride.

Your own motorcycle, valid registration and insurance, a full motorcycle licence, and gear for early-October riding. Mornings can be cold — heated gear, layers, and a good windscreen make a difference. The support truck carries any extras you might have, and carries the What A Ride photo and video crew.

You’ll sign a participant waiver electronically before payment, including confirmation that your motorcycle is registered and insured. Bookings close September 11.
