First ride for August! And we’ll start it off by meeting at the new Community Centre on D’Arcy St. and heading out from there.

Start time: 7:00
Start location: The new Community Centre on D’Arcy St. (Parking lot furthest north)
Route: To be determined
Ride Leader: Paul Mills

Please indicate by commenting if you will come out for the ride so that the ride leader can plan accordingly.

Butter Tarts and Cherry cream cheese danishes are enough to bring us back to Harwood! The Thursday ride goes there and so does this Sunday’s. Since it’s likely to be crazy hot outside, we’ll also re-fill water bottles at the spring.

The distance will be 56km. The shortcut option is only 17km and bypasses the butter tarts as well as the most scenic portion of the ride along Rice Lake. If you want to catch the scenery and the butter tarts and ride a shorter distance, use the comments section below to seek out other like-minded individuals and together you could make a plan of your own.

56km and it’s going to be a hot one, so fill up your bottles with lots of ice. We’ll also re-fill water bottles at the spring in Harwood. If you plan to do a shorter distance, please review the map and make an independent plan accordingly.

This Sunday’s ride will be the same as Thursday’s, but with the added extra of joining together for lunch at The Mill afterward. They’ve got a great outdoor patio that we can use. Spouses, friends and/or family are all welcome to come to The Mill for lunch as well. We’d really like to make sure that we let the restaurant know how many are coming, so please RSVP by commenting below that you are coming and how many to expect for lunch.

Since the Tour de France is underway, we’ll call this one the “Tour de Baltimore”. It’s a 43.3km route with an option for making it 35.5km. Either route will take in much of the scenery and make for a pleasant ride on those beautiful roads that seem to surround Baltimore.

This advanced ride takes in Bickle Hill (no problem, eh?). There won’t be a “ride leader” since the advanced ride is meant to do at your own pace.

Start time: 6:30pm
Start location: The parking lot of the Y

This Monday’s ride will take in some country roads and also a little bit of town. We may even swing by the ice cream place and get a cone, which should prove to be a welcome activity during this crazy heat wave.

Start time: 7:00
Start location: Parking lot of St. Mary’s School (Staff parking lot on the north side)
