Tour from Montreal, Canada to Detroit, Michigan – 700 miles starting August 23, 2026

I’m looking at doing an all-camping ride (or nearly so depending on weather and fatigue) from Montreal to western Detroit (Canton, MI) where my sister lives. Departure date would be Sunday, August 23. The route goes through Kingston, along the north shore of Lake Ontario, through Toronto, then west. Total route miles are 700. I’ve mapped out campgrounds at an average daily mileage of 42 as well as the nearest full service grocery store to the campground. Routing is primarily lower volume roads (I think). Weather shows an average of .75 inches of rain each week. Temperature averages are moderate, mostly in the 60s and 70s. Montreal is the start because my wife and I will be finishing a planned Quebec/Montreal vacation that day. Minimum days of riding are 17. I’m well experienced in this form of recreation both solo and with a companion. I’m 63, retired from public service, and politically progressive. If you are interested in joining this ride, please reach out. Mike (Phoenix, AZ)
