“We will meet at King’s Field at the west end of Port Hope and do a nice little loop that will take us west along Lakeshore Rd, up into the hills a bit and then back into town again. Average speed will be around 20kph. Weather reports are for hotter temperatures than we’re used to so far this season so be sure to bring lots of water, a helmet and a smile ’cause we are gonna have FUN!”

We don’t have a ride leader for this one, the “usual suspects” seem to be out of town or otherwise. So, we’re going the self-directed method. Meet at the CCC at 6:30 and everyone plan to ride in a group. Please be sure to have access to the route on your phones or print it out. More importantly, leave a comment so others know you’ll be riding and can plan ahead.

On Tuesday, Pam will lead and we will head west along Lakeshore Road, same as last week, but this time we’ll add a short (about 3km) loop on the way back right after the long and mostly downhill swoosh from the turn around point to Wesleyville Road. You know the drill…a few stops for hydration, nobody left behind, gorgeous views, great company, lots of smiles.
Start Time: 6:30
Meeting Location: King’s Field, Port Hope

It’s back to Cobourg with Jim on Thursday, where we’ll do the Normar Road Loop to Highway 2, to Gully Road, to Danforth Road, to McEwan Road, and back onto Highway 2 to the start location. About 20 km.
This route has a couple of long but not steep hills. Two weeks ago we had no problem with the hills so I am adding another long but not steep hill. For these hills, slow and steady works very well.
Start Time: 6:30
Meeting Location: 210 Willmott Street (Sleep Country parking lot), Cobourg
Ride Leader: Jim Berg
The weather forecast is not in our favour for tomorrow. Unfortunately, 80-90% chance of rain for most of the day. We will postpone this ride until sometime in July.
