Friends For Life: A Bike Rally Recounting
"We’re all sleeping in tents, on not-so-inflated inflatable mattresses. Everything I own is sort of damp, and I’m beginning to believe that waterproof tents don’t actually exist. This is the setup for a terrible day, but for reasons I’m not clear on, I’m having the time of my life."

The most popular tourist attractions of Norfolk County (pop. 63, 175) are the ports, towns and villages along Lake Erie, known as Ontario’s South Coast. These towns include Port Dover, Turkey Point and Long Point. Fishing is another key attraction for tourists, as well as birding, hiking, camping and cycling. Agri-tourism is another expanding attraction for tourists coming to Norfolk County, with wineries and microbreweries, and farm-related events. Port Dover is the jewel of Ontario’s South Coast. Originally known as Dover Mills, Port Dover is named for a southern sea port in England, located on the River Dover. During the War of 1812, invading American forces burned Dover Mills, as were many mills throughout Ontario. The name Long Point is the descriptive name given to the ever-shifting sand spit jutting out into Lake Erie. While the tip of Long Point (as well as most of the wilderness east of Long Point Provincial Park) is accessible, the resort community of cottages closer to the causeway has been a tourist destination for generations. Simcoe is the main market town of Norfolk County, Simcoe has a bustling downtown retail core and numerous shopping opportunities. Simcoe also has a beautiful park system and fairground which plays host to festivals throughout the year.
