The Port Hope ride is on! It’s going to be sunny, and overall just a lovely fall evening. Since there are fewer riders coming out now that the season is getting closer to the end, please leave a comment indicating that you plan to ride. George is your ride leader tonight and he’d love to know how many to expect!
Time: 6:00pm
Location: Port Hope Town Hall
Ride Leader: George
We are going to start in our slightly out-of-town spot that gets us out onto those lovely country roads. The sun officially sets at 7:09pm this evening, so lights will be required for all those riding, as of 6:39pm.
Start time: 6:00pm
Start location: Wicklow Beach
Ride leader: Maria Garrett
If you missed it last Sunday, we’ll do it on Thursday. Shelter Valley Road. Massey Road has newish gravel for about 2-3 kms but it’s rideable, just be cautious. Otherwise, it’s a good route and there’s sunshine in the forecast.
Start time: 10am
Start location: Donegan Park

Please let others know you are riding tomorrow. The Thursday group is typically quite small so it’s good to know you won’t be standing there alone at the park waiting. 🙂
This will be the last “All Levels” ride for the season. (not the final ride of the season….just the last All Levels ride) We have reserved with The Mill, who have kindly agreed to let us start and finish the ride in their parking lot, and afterward we will head inside to the Pub area for those wishing to order up beer and snacks. In case you’ve forgotten, an All Levels ride means that there’s just one route and everyone rides—but at their respective paces, Levels 1-4.
It’s an opportunity to try the next level up, and since everyone follows the same route you can always drop back and wait for the group behind you. We will ride out for 35 minutes then turn around and come back the same way—Everyone finishes at the same time.
Lights on bikes are essential. The sun sets at 7:18pm on Wednesday, meaning lights are required on both the front and back of your bike as of 6:48pm
Time: 6:00–7:10pm (ride) 7:15-9:00pm (social)
Start location: The Mill parking lot
Route map: 36km printable route map here, or view it on Ride with GPS
Ride leaders: TBA
Important: Please RSVP so that we can ensure adequate reservation for space at The Mill
CANCELLATION: Due to weather and other unforeseen circumstances, the out of town ride planned for today is being postponed to a different day and time. Stay home, stay warm, and stay dry.
The sun officially sets at 7:22pm this evening, so lights will be required for all those riding, as of 6:52pm. We are going to start in our downtown location, the parking lot behind the Dutch Oven.
Start time: 6:00pm
Start location: The parking lot behind the Dutch Oven

For those who have patiently waited for their jersey, they have now arrived. If you ordered a jersey, you can pick it up from Anita’s house, but you probably should drop her a line first to make sure she’ll be there. Email her now.
Due to a rather significant rainfall warning from Environment Canada, and the appearance that there there may be some truth to this, we are cancelling tonight’s ride (Wednesday). There will also be no Thursday morning ride.
Ride cancelled
We have a new start location this time, affording the opportunity to get out onto some new roads. It sounds like rain and/or thunderstorms are forecast for the evening but hopefully they’ll take place after the ride.
Start time: 6:00pm
Start location: Hope Township Municipal Offices, lower parking lot
Ride Leader: Pamela Tate
Please leave a comment. Pam loves to know who she will have to keep up with!
POSTPONED. Sorry folks. We will do it another day.
To change things up, we’re having a ride on roads we don’t typically take on a day we don’t typically ride. The Trent Hills/Trenton Tour is a hilly 90km tour passing by places you may have never visited (or heard of!) before: Castleton, Morganston, Warkworth, Codrington, Wooler, Trenton, and Brighton. Bring a snack and little cash in case you need to replenish your fluids or fuel at some of the convenience stores we’ll pass along the way.
Date: SATURDAY, September 13th
Start time: 10:00am
Level of Difficulty: Level 3++/Level 4 ride
Start location: Northumberland Hills Public School parking lot, 2246 Spring Street, Castleton
Ride leader: Maria Garrett
Route map: Still to come
Please leave a comment to let Maria know that you plan to ride. She’s got a great route planned and hopefully with a Saturday start we’ll see a fabulous group turnout.
