Head out of town along the aptly named Perimeter Highway. Then, for about a kilometre and a half you\u2019ll ride the Red Coat Trail, the approximate path taken by the North West Mounted Police in 1874.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turning onto Provincial Trunk Highway 3, you\u2019ll ride through farms and ranchland to just past Pomeroy, then a few quick turns will have you in Morden, home of Gaslight Harley-Davidson. It\u2019s easy to spend a couple of hours at this old-style dealership that\u2019s been selling Harley-Davidson motorcycles since 1977. When you\u2019ve had your fill, take time to explore the town of Morden, where you\u2019ll find the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame and the Canadian Fossil Discovery Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Head back to Winnipeg along the Lord Selkirk Highway through the Red River Valley, roughly following the route used by Scottish settlers in the early 1800s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Apple of your eye<\/strong><br>The Morden Corn &amp; Apple Festival, happening August 28\u201330, is Manitoba\u2019s largest street festival, drawing 80,000 people to this town with a population of just over 9,100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.harley-davidson.com\/share\/rides\/XBz64-DGK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Click here to view this route in the Harley-Davidson Ride Planner and start planning your next adventure.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>First published in 2025<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manitoba | 274km<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":7660,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[18],"class_list":["post-7659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-riding-routes"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7659"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7659\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7907,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7659\/revisions\/7907"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hog.thecreativeplot.com\/en-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
