Sunday, August 7th: Wolfe Island ride

This Sunday we’re off to Wolfe Island, an area highly recommended for cycling due to relatively few cars on the roads. The terrain should be fairly flat and those wanting to get in a few kilometers can probably get in at least 70km if you ride to the east and back as well as south and back.  Because it’s an out and back ride on the same roads, you can turn back any time and make what you want of the ride so it can be suitable for all levels. There won’t be designated ride leaders so those wishing to do the same level should stay together as a group.

There are opportunities to purchase some food at the convenience store or at the one or two restaurants in Marysville, (and Slickers ice cream is sold in town!), but the rest of the island doesn’t provide that chance. Either plan on buying something in Marysville, and/or bring fluids, snacks, and lunch with you. Leigh Thompson will be driving onto the island and will have a cooler with her if you wish to have her transport something for you.

We’re planning on catching the 10:30 ferry so make sure you allow time to park, get your stuff together, and be ready to board by then. There is some free parking available, as well as paid parking so be prepared to pay, just in case! The ferry is free and takes 20 minutes to cross.

Because this ride involves driving to Kingston, please let us know if you are planning to come. Maybe riders can arrange car pooling amongst yourselves, and we’d like to make sure we don’t miss anyone who wants to be part of the day. It’s also helpful if you indicate the distance you’re interested in.

Date: Sunday, August 7th

Time: please get to the parking lot around 10:00, be ready to catch the 10:30 ferry

Meeting Location: near the dock of the ferry to Wolfe Island
