I would like to leave the same comment as the L2+, in that the ride will be pleasurable but…The climb up to Northumberland Heights is a bit of a climb but the thrill of going down the Height’s Hill makes it all worth it.

Tuesday August 28: Level 4 (35k)

Weather diverted us from doing this one last week, so we’ll do it this Tuesday. Time to climb some hills! That includes the Jamieson Twins. But hey, it’s late in the season, so you are strong! We have 114 minutes of daylight, so we’re going for some speed too! And, this one doesn’t include Bickle Hill so it’s all good.

Level 2+

This route (26 km) is an old favorite of mine. We will head north on Ontario St. to Cornish Hollow where then ride west on Smylie to Williamson. From Williamson we will follow Danforth Rd to Ontario Street. I drove down Williamson today and from Bickle Hill to Dale Rd—they have finished the re-surfacing, and the road is now ride-able.

Start Time: 6pm
Start Location: Arena on Furnace Street
Ride Leader: Mike

Slightly shorter than of late (37 Km – Elevation only + 264m) but reflects less daylight hours available! Once again a bit of several previous rides all stitched together for what we hope will be another glorious escapade.

Start Location: Hamilton Township Offices, Majestic Drive, Burhnam St (Rt 18), North of Cobourg
