Riding base town suggestions in SW Ontario

Hi. I'm going to be doing some riding with friends this season and we are looking for a town where we can do a few loops (day trips) from over the course of 2-4 days.
Not looking for crazy hills or technical single track. Just some mid-grade riding levels that everyone can do without getting discouraged. Trails or low use roads preferred. Rural settings.
We're from the Windsor area and we would be alright with driving 4 hours or so to get there. Can't go to the US unfortunately because some people can't cross the border.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.

Niagara region? Caladonia? Anywhere near Barrie?

Lot of good suggestions can be found here:

I enjoyed the Greater Niagara Circle Route. Greater Niagara Circle Route | Niagara Cycling Tourism Centre There are a series of inns and B&Bs to cater to riders on this loop.

Another great region is out in Prince Edward County, south of Belleville
Loads of great routes to take, with beautiful views!

Hamilton's a great spot! You can go every direction and have lovely road/tarmac or gravel trails to ride.
