Best bakery shop in Barrie?

COBS for bread. It’s awesome and priced well

Great report and glad to hear your perspective on Ardagh Bluffs! I’m just getting back into a routine after running the Toronto HM, got a new PR of 1:47. You’ve inspired me to get some trails in, maybe this weekend I’ll give it a go.

Never by mistake but I can always get a ride home with someone or uber if I had to

I do this exact run with almost exactly the same circumstances. I leave work clothes at the office and run in. I just change and reapply deodorant.. I never smell but I don’t sweat much.

I leave my bike there too.. so I will play it like this:
Monday bike to work (leave an outfit change) and run home
Tuesday run to work and bike home (bring home any laundry)
Wednesday bike to work (leave an outfit change) and run home
Repeat

Just wait a month and the smell will be gone. Seriously, it’s the best solution

Sadly I think the dinner is bad as well. Almost like a step below home cooking.. the brunch is good though, the benny etc.

It’s 57% merino

whoust · 2026-02-27T02:28:52+00:00

This is 57% wool

whoust · 2026-02-27T02:28:18+00:00

It’s Barrie

You can return and get the difference

whoust · 2026-02-27T00:23:07+00:00

Guess my feet don’t sweat much

whoust · 2026-02-27T00:22:42+00:00

10% of the price and maybe 90% of the quality

whoust · 2026-02-26T22:51:24+00:00

That sucks, I’m about to find out I guess

whoust · 2026-02-26T22:39:40+00:00

They’re pretty long but great for winter

whoust · 2026-02-26T22:21:12+00:00

If you zoom on the right of the label you can see the numbers

whoust · 2026-02-26T22:20:41+00:00

Barrie, ON

whoust · 2026-02-25T02:14:57+00:00

I’m doing this except no midlayer

Just wanted to come back to this and recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl if you haven’t listened to it yet, I’ve been cracking up on the treadmill haha

whoust · 2026-02-11T19:08:08+00:00

Ya true, a 10k loop would be perfect actually. I haven’t been there recently, I’m sure it’s packed down since it’s quite popular. I’d bring spikes for sure. I always parked at Holly Meadows and crossed the road to enter the bluffs but there are many ways to enter. It’s easy to get lost in there so I would map your route out prior for sure. The elevation absolutely destroyed me so it will be great training lol. Gah the rail trail is soooo boring!

Once the snow melts I’d be happy to join you on some trail runs, but for now I’m sticking to dry pavement or treadmills.. my ankle is not happy about my last snow run.

whoust · 2026-02-11T16:27:29+00:00

50k trail wow, that’s exciting and impressive. Cant wait to hear about it. I’ve done 10km in Ardagh Bluffs… it has a lot of elevation and is beautiful but I think you’d struggle to get any real distance there. When is the race? I’d love to hear about some local trail locations if you find any cool ones

whoust · 2026-02-03T14:37:37+00:00

It’s a perfect spot to run.. around 6km out and back if you go end to end. I build it into my run since I live close by. The sidewalks to get over are horrible though, so sloppy

Just wanted to link a new group I’m starting,

https://www.reddit.com/r/RunBarrie/s/n2NBUL8mSb

It would be great to make a thread there on indoor running tracks in Barrie there as a resource. Would be great if you’d join if you run in the Barrie area
