Level 2 Rides: Tues July 23 and Thurs July 25

Tues July 23, Level 2 Ride: Westwood Cobourg

Just a reminder that Level 2’s Tuesday’s rides are a “Steady” Ride (that is, lower end of the average speed and distance, more moderate hills with more frequent stops).

We will start at Westwood Park parking lot and head out west up Theatre Rd and further west to Hamilton Rd. North to Dale, east until Theatre Rd again and loop back the way we came. At Telephone Road the second time we will take the pulse of the group and add a bit of kilometer-age (or not). This is an undulating but manageable course. We will take frequent stops to catch our breath and socialize. Please chime in using the comment button so we can know to expect you! Don’t forget water and helmets.

Start Time: 6:30 pm
Ride Leader: Geoffrey Honey
Start Location: Westwood Park parking lot, Carlisle St, between Ewing and Westwood.

Thurs July 25, Level 2 Ride: St Mary’s Grafton

Just a reminder that Level 2’s Thursday rides are a “Training Ride” (that is, gradually building up stamina for hills and or longer distances or speed within the Level 2 parameters with slightly fewer rest stops so that riders can condition themselves to move to L3 if they wish).

Janine Turk will take us on some hill training stamina building in Grafton. Here is her description of the ride:

“Starting at St. Mary’s Church parking lot, head out Hwy2 to Shelter Valley Rd, Left on Broomfield Rd. Eddystone Rd, Pipeline Rd, King Rd to Shelter Valley, Hwy 2. Gorgeous ride, we will stop periodically to regroup and refuel. There is one tough hill. Not to worry, as you can take your time. Once you reach the top, it will be a huge accomplishment. Bring lots of water, add a bit of maple syrup.”
