We enjoyed every moment! Four of us headed out to Cornish Hollow Road and weaved our way around the countryside and eventually made it back to Cobourg. The sun shone the whole time and the road conditions were great other than a few tiny patches of ice in the permanently shady portions of the road. Can’t complain now, can we?

Off-season is here! With the rain, snow and ice preventing some from getting out for a bike ride, we’ve got a Hike on the schedule for Wednesday morning, which will be led by Maaike Berg-Nonnekes, a certified hike instructor/leader, so we’re in good hands. We plan to hike the Purple Trail which is about 9 km. There are short sections of the trail that are used by motorized vehicles. Dress for the weather; layers are a good idea. Bring a snack and water.
Start time: 10:00am
Start location: Parking Lot off Hwy 45 across from Woodland (just north of Beagle Club Rd on the East Side)
Route: Purple Trail route map and directions
Difficulty: Intermediate, some hilly sections

They did it! Six enthusiastic cyclists sat at the house and looked over the radar—and when that window of opportunity presented itself they threw on their cold/wet weather gear and headed down the road.
