23 is a nice ride, better than Interstate 75. Have you looked into the Ferry from Tobermory to South Baymouth? I'e never done it, but have had friends that have.

23 is a nice road but you'll have a hard time stretching Barrie to Barrie via Sudbury, the Sault and then Sarnia via the Michigan coast road (23) into 7 days +. Are you might be planning some days off your bike in scenic towns along the way?
I live in the London area. Think this damn cold is going to end soon?
