This coming Sunday the ride will start in Brighton (Gosport to be specific). The first half of it is flat and if you prefer to keep it that way, you can take the short cut and make it 44k instead of the original 56k.
After 32 km of relatively flat, scenic, riding, the long route heads up into the infamous Northumberland Hills. The worse of the hilly can be avoided by taking the shortcut! There is a cafe nearby for those interested in lunch after the ride.
Here is the route map. Please take a moment to print it out for yourselves and bring it with you.

Start time: 10:00
For this ride, we start and finish at the Harbourview Cafe, a great eating spot right on the water (Lake Ontario). There is ample parking in the vicinity. The directions to Gosport (just south of the Town of Brighton) are here: http://hedney.com/freewheelers/directions/Gosport_Directions.pdf. This is a lovely ride – the first half really is flat, but the second half of the long ride is definitely not!
count me in!
doesnt appear to be much interest in the brighton ride so i guess i”ll ride locally
Too bad as you missed a great ride today!
What time did you leave? I live in Brighton and cycled to the Harbourview Cafe parking lot arriving at 9:50 and, when no one arrived by 10:05 , I went out on my own.
We are not able to ride tomorrow. We are in Niagara Falls. See you all next time.
