Tues July 2, Level 2 Ride: St.Mary’s Grafton

David Hutzel will be taking us easterly for this glorious ride. Here is his description:

“Meeting at St Mary’s church/school parking lot we’ll head south to Chub beach. Following Chub beach Rd to the dead end and U-turn back up to Orchard Grove Rd where we’ll turn right and follow the Lakefront trail to Wicklow Beach. After another rest and regroup we’ll head back to our starting point. A leisurely 20k mostly flat except at the end. The route is quite scenic along the water but it can be cooler, dress accordingly. Water is a must have and sunscreen and perhaps an insect repellent would be advisable.

CAUTION, there may be areas of sand or other debris hazards on the road from flooding.” David Hutzel
