Hi there,
I will be at both the Monday and Tuesday evening rides.
Heather
I too (Anita) am hoping to be out for the Level 1 ride tonight.
we hope to make Mon’s ride.
Is Wicklow beach just south of Grafton? Is it reachale via hwy2?
Take Cty Rd 2 through Grafton to Wicklow Beach Road. Turn right and follow it until it turns to the left at the lake. The parking lot is a little ways down the road on the right
Wednesday Level 3 Ride: Hi all y’all and Lee, planning on riding Wed eve. Bring on dem hills! Allan
Giddy up level 3’ers!!!! See you all there.
I plan to be on thursday morning ride, meeting at Sylvanglen conservation.
turned out to be a solo ride 🙁
Sorry to hear that Tara, I wonder if the introduction of the evening ride on Thursdays has reduced the popularity of the morning ride? Historically, the morning rides are less well attended in July and August because people are on vacation etc.
Hi Tara. Sorry it turned into a solo ride. I was 30 min late getting started so I too rode it solo? Did you do the whole route or in reverse? I met one rider who was going in the opposite direction but otherwise hardly saw any signs of any life along the way. Hard ride going west especially Oak Hills Rd but once I got to Langstaff it was all pretty much downhill and fast. Yeah. Sorry we didn’t ride together.
Time of day!
Anybody planning to ride on Sunday? Maybe even an alternate route?
Hoping to join the ride. Will be leaving from Cobourg CT.
I’m planning to ride Sunday morn. Unfortunately I may be late for the 9am start. I will try and catch up
