Ride: Sunday Aug. 28th: Wicklow Beach and Back (9am)

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!

Ride: Thursday Aug. 25th: Wicklow Beach and Back (9am)

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.

Monday, August 22nd: Evening Novice Ride (7:00pm)

Last week was a washout, so let’s hope for better this Monday. The days are getting shorter, but there’s still plenty of opportunity to get some rides in.

Start time: 7:00
Start location: The Mill Restaurant, Cobourg
Route: To be determined
Ride Leader: Glen Fitchett

Ride: Sunday Aug. 21st: “Bewdley and Back” (9am)

Just like on Thursday, we’ll go up to Bewdley, stop at the store there to load up on refreshments and then head back. There will be an optional shorter route if you are interested. Ride leaders are needed. Anyone is welcome to volunteer—all you need to do is be familiar with the route, and lead the way! (Don’t worry, you don’t need to always be in front either)
