Gord and I went snowshoeing at Hardwood Ski & Bike today…read more We started on the Lookout Trail (this trail takes you to the Lookout where on a clear day you can see Barrie and Lake Simcoe), then hooked onto the Fox Trail (this trail makes its way to Janet's Gateway at the top of the property before coming back downhill to the chalet) when the Lookout Trail ended and then took the Lynx Trail (starts at the main chalet and takes you on a great loop through some old hardwood forest) back to the chalet. It was a gorgeous day to be outside ... sunny and 0C/32F. We were snowshoeing for about 2.5 hours and did about 6km. The trails meander through the woods and varied between being flat and hilly ... some the hills are tough (but fun). There was about a foot of snow. At times, the ski and snowshoe trails ran parallel to each other and we sometimes had to cross over the ski trails to stay on the snowshoe trails. It took us about 1.5 hours to get to the lookout ... a lot uphill. It was a fun fun day! No doubt we'll all have a great sleep tonight!

Got my first bike in a long while and I'm so happy I did. The owner Andy is so friendly, patient…read moreand knowledgeable, and not pushy at all. He took the time to answer all my questions (silly ones and all) and was honest in the advice he gave. All of Andy's staff are also helpful and knowledgeable especially Ryan who took the time to help me pick out the perfect bike helmet while Andy was getting my bike ready. Before making the purchase, he asked great questions to determine what type of bike would fit my needs then showed me to those types of models. I was able to ride a couple of bikes to get a feel for the difference and determine which I liked better. In the end I went with the purple 2017 Specialized Vita model in small. It rides so smooth, is comfortable and brings back that feeling of freedom, pure joy and FUN! I had forgotten how amazing it feels to ride a bicycle since I haven't had one in over 25 years!! I'm so looking forward to taking this awesome piece of perfection on the road.

Gord and I spent three days at Horseshoe Resort ... we drove up on Wednesday and came home Friday…read more It snowed and was really cold the entire time so was very Canadian. It was a fun way to start 2026! We booked a deluxe room, which had a sunken sitting area with an electric fireplace and a snowy view. It was nice to have the extra space. We had our meals at the Crazy Horse Sports Bar & Grill (across the street from the Inn) and Eleven 01 (in the inn building). We celebrated New Years Eve at the Crazy Horse where there was a live band, which was fun. There is lots to do. We're not skiers or snowboarders but there were many there who were so it was fun to watch. Entry to the trails at the Nordic Centre across the street is complimentary for snowshoers and bikers staying at the resort. We brought our snowshoes but since it's been a few years since we'd done it, we snowshoed around the resort's deep deep snow to get back into the groove. There is snow tubing but tickets were sold out for the time slots we wanted. We spent time in the games room playing ping pong and in the hot tub and pool (really busy with lots of families). Parking is an issue ... there doesn't seem to be enough spots and people were parking on the street. We managed to get a spot near another building after driving around a bit. The entrance at the inn could be configured better. In theory, you drive in, park and check in, drive around in a circle and head back out the way you came in. When we checked out this morning, many others were too. Gord couldn't drive around the circle after we loaded up the car because it was packed with cars. Plus it was snowy and icy. He had to back out, which was nerve wracking! It also meant cars pulling in couldn't ... they had to back up so he could get out. A better route would be to have the driveway go right onto the street near the inn's entrance rather than making people drive around in a circle to get out the way they came in.

The TV was a little small but overall it was a good experience. Staying at the resort gives you free access to the cross country ski trails and we really enjoyed our ski. The pool was good but packed with rambunctious children who were jumping and splashing everyone. I wish the pool was managed better and the snow tubing was fun as well. Would we go back? Absolutely!

I don't know how I'm going to be concise about what an amazing business this is. It is probably the…read morebest run business I've ever encountered. Ecclestone Cycle has been caring for our old (30+ years) bikes for several years without ever suggesting that we should really get new bikes - which is basically what I was told by other local bike shops when I was initially repairing the old bikes. Ecclestone got us new parts and installed them at very reasonable prices and then continued to make repairs and tweaks at extremely good service prices for the last several years. Recently we decided we would really enjoy new bikes and we didn't consider going anywhere else. The service and great attitude we have received there was enough to sell us that there is no better place to get bikes, parts and service. And this week we became the owners of new Kona bikes - the owners and staff spent literally hours helping us learn about bikes, helping us choose bikes and then teaching us how to work the gears and new things about riding etc. It isn't possible to have a more positive experience than we've had. The owners and staff, including the students who work there, are genuine, warm, friendly, helpful and never pushy. Exceptional!!!!

We stayed in a Villa (#601) which was the first one we were put in. After lugging our luggage through an un-shoveled walkway, arriving to the villa and unpacking our bags - the fireplace was not working - nor would the door lock - after complaining to front desk - we were moved to Villa #605 - again un-shoveled walkway, un-shoveled stairs, we were happy that our door was able to be locked. We discovered the TV and fireplace were not working in this unit either - Not wanting to pack up & switch rooms again - we settled for a 10% discount on the room The hotel staff we dealt with were very polite - The resort is overpriced in its current condition - the villa's are severely outdated and in need of repair & updating - the carpets were worn, and looked dirty, window treatments were out of date and shabby looking - visible cracks down the wall in the bedroom - the patio door looked like termites had been eating it and allowed huge draft into the dining area of the villa We ate at the onsite restaurant on the Friday night - service staff were friendly - food was not great - ordered the fish and chips - the batter of the fish was so overcooked, difficult to cut even with knife - and some of the fish inside the batter was not even cooked! Definitely will not book here again -
