Default Ontario driving routes reasonably close to Barrie

I’m in Barrie, Ontario - member of PCA UCR. But can’t always make their events- or the event gets filled before I can figure out if I can attend.
Wondering if anyone has a few routes such as those for the Muskoka May 25 PCA event that I could follow on my own/ with spouse. Any quiet twisty roads easy to get to from Barrie area I should explore?

141 from 11 is a nice drive up to Roseau, have lunch at the road to Huntsville and back to #11. Thats Apsdin Road and I drove it today wishing i was in the 968. Or just through Rosseau make a left which takes you through Bala and into Port Carling. The nice roads are less travelled right now.

518 east of orrville is probably the best driving road in Ontario. Combine that with southwood, roads around rosseaau, port carling, three mile lake etc and it's an amazing route.

A route addition to the #141 drive I mentioned. I drove this today and the road surface is excellent. Exit #11 at Bracebridge on #117 heading East toward Dorset. Then approximately 3 km in turn Left on Bonnie Lake Road (just past the golf course). Follow it until it ends at Stephenson Road and turn right. Follow that until it ends at #10. You drove about 15 kms from 117.

Then turn left and drive through Port Sydney, past the beach and Mary Lake, stay on the road and at the #11 underpass it turns into 141.

Enjoy.
