This Thursday (and Sunday as well) we’ll take the Waterfront Trail and head west over to Port Hope and continue along the lakeshore. Riders can turn around at any point they wish, making the ride as long or as short as desired. The route is an easy and relatively level except for the big hill to get across Port Hope. No route map necessary for this ride.

Port Hope provides an opportunity to re-load on drinks or snacks if desired.

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: The park on Carlisle St. between Ewing and Westwood.
Ride Leader: Maria Garrett

Please comment below if you are coming and the approximate distance you might be interested in.

New start time: 6:30pm

This ride is being posted on the website, but many of the club members will already have rode 106km earlier in the day and may not wish to ride in the evening, but if people wish to get together and do the usual Monday night ride, here is the place to discuss a starting point and a ride leader. Is there anyone interested in leading this ride? We need a leader and a starting point in order for this ride to occur.

Start time: 6:30
Start location: Donegan Park
Ride Leader: ?

Please indicate by commenting if you are interested in riding and also if you wish to lead the ride.

Please note that the start time is 10:00am

This ride is going to be an easy 29 km because of the biggy 100km ride that many are doing on the next day (Monday). This is the very first route that we did as a club way back in May. It’s easy, not very hilly, so should be a good ride for all skill levels. This would be a great ride for some of the Monday riders who are looking for a little more challenge.

Start time: 10:00am

This Thursday is the first of September which means that the ride start times will now begin at 10:00am. This “Osaca Odyssey” ride is a 42km ride that starts and ends at the Port Hope Town Hall. Please print out the route map and bring it with you if you are planning to ride.

The days are getting shorter, so we’ll ride at 6:00pm. We’ll try and get in the 42km option.

Start location: Donegan Park

Please indicate if you are planning to ride.

This is the last time that the Monday ride will start at 7:00 due to the shorter days, and make sure the ride is done by around 8:00.

Start time: 7:00
Start location: Donegan Park
Route: To be determined
Ride Leader: Randy Albon

Like Thursday’s ride, this ride is an “out and back” ride. Riders can turn around at any point to make the ride shorter than the planned 36km—or extend the ride to Colborne or beyond if you want more distance.

We’ll trying something new—there won’t be a ride leader. Instead, riders should plan to break off into smaller riding groups of similar skill, ability, and desired distance.

Start time: 9:00am
Start location: Donegan Park

Please comment below if you are coming and also indicate your anticipated distance (or time) so that others can also do a little planning ahead and hopefully everyone will have someone to ride with!

This ride is an “out and back” ride, which means that it will allow for people to turn around at any point to make the ride shorter if desired. The entire route is only 36km, but if anyone is interested in extending it, please mention it below.

We’ll try something different this time. We won’t assign a “leader” this time. After starting, riders should plan instead to break off into smaller riding groups of similar skill and ability.

The days are getting shorter, so we’ll ride at 6:00pm and we’ll do the short version of the “Tour de Baltimore” which is 35.5km. Anita will be away this week, so there won’t actually be a ride “leader” this time. Please print out your own maps and bring them with you.

Start time: 6:00pm
Start location: The Mill parking lot
Route map and directions: “Tour de Baltimore” (The short route, 35km)

Please indicate by commenting if you will come out for the ride so other riders know how many to expect.
