Our Level 2 ride is CANCELLED

Sadly, the weather has proved uncooperative. Rain is scheduled to continue all day to at least 8pm. We will try again next week. Stay tuned for next week’s weather permitting ride.

Wondering if there is an amphibious bicycle,

The route is a mystery that only Roberto knows.

We will cross our fingers and hope for better weather this week! Our ride will start at Westwood Park on Carlisle St between Westwood and Ewing in Cobourg, head out through New Amherst, Waterfront Trail, Theatre Rd., Telephone Rd., CtRd 18, Danforth Rd., and Ontario St back into Cobourg. It is a lovely mix of in-town and out-of-town, gradual hills ride.

The event: The Warkworth BIA will soon be receiving a Bike Friendly DBIA designation and this Thursday morning Northumberland County will be announcing a summer long social media contest and resources targeting cycling tourists. They are hoping that as many cyclists as possible will attend the media launch and be the first to enter the contest. There will be several short announcements before the photo ops after which we can head out for a nice, hilly, 38km route.

Lunch: There are several options for lunch following the ride so bring some money if you’d like to partake! If you’d like to be part of the launch and lunch but don’t fancy riding, the Warkworth Lilac Festival is on and there is a lovely trail by the river which features over 65 varieties of lilacs. Please comment if you are attending so we can ensure enough restaurant space.

CANCELLED, due to rain and severe thunderstorm possibility
Well, the forecast is promising, so let’s RIDE!  We will start this time from the west of Cobourg at Westwood Park on Carlisle St. promptly at 6:30 after a very brief safety review so that we can use all the available light. We will head out through New Amherst then along the Waterfront Trail, Hwy 2 for a bit, up Theatre Rd to Telephone Road, up 18 to Danforth then down Ontario and along home.

This ride is a perfect level 2 mix of in-town and out-of-town route. With some but not too many hills thrown in.

Please bring waivers if you are riding as a guest. Helmets are required. Remember layers and pumped tires.

Start time: 6:30 pm
