If you’d like to be part of the launch and lunch but don’t fancy riding, the Warkworth Lilac Festival is on and there is a lovely trail by the river which features over 65 varieties of lilacs.

Well, the forecast is promising, so let’s RIDE!  We will start this time from the west of Cobourg at Westwood Park on Carlisle St. promptly at 6:30 after a very brief safety review so that we can use all the available light. We will head out through New Amherst then along the Waterfront Trail, Hwy 2 for a bit, up Theatre Rd to Telephone Road, up 18 to Danforth then down Ontario and along home.
