It’s forecasting 26C and sunshine. All the weird weather seems to have passed! There’s a lot of construction happening on roads in Hope Township so we’ll take the Waterfront Trail westbound along the lakeshore. It’s a nice and easy route that allows for any distance you wish by just turning around and coming back to the start any time you wish. And no route map required! Note the new start time of 9:00am.

There is no designated ride leader for Sunday. Although it’s a group ride, it’s expected that smaller groups will break off according to pace and distance. It’s recommended that prior to the start you discuss your intentions with others so that nobody rides alone. In fact, if you leave a comment here letting others know your plans regarding distance and pace it will be helpful for others!

Start time: 9:00am
Start location: King’s Field (baseball field) in Port Hope (Victoria St. just south of the lights at Toronto Rd. and Ridout St.)

This ride will start at Donegan Park. We will east on Highway #2 to Gully Rd. where we will head into the hills of Northumberland.  Once we reach Community Centre road it will be mostly down hill all the way to Cobourg.
This ride is rated as a L2+. We will stop from time to time for water breaks but it will not be as often as a L2 ride.

A few reminders: Helmets are mandatory, and please bring your membership card with you. We’re still getting to know everyone!

We like hills…the more the merrier, right? This time the route will go in reverse and see if Bickle Hills or the Jamieson’s feel any better. 39k, easy peasy everyone! Don’t forget that since it’s July our new start time will be 6:30pm.

It’s summer vacation time! Well, at least for some lucky folks. We just wanted to take a moment and let y’all know what to expect for month of July so that you can mark your calendars and start planning. The regular evening rides will continue as they always have, and so will Sunday morning rides. We do have the following for you to note:

• Morning start time for July and August: To beat the heat, we begin any morning rides at 9:00am.
• July 17th: Hellacious Hilly 100km ride will be happening for those who are looking for something a little more challenging than the Presqu’ile 100.
• July 20th: The monthly All Levels Ride will take place, starting and stopping at Franks Pasta and Grill in Cobourg. 6:30 for the ride and 8:00 for the wings, beer and hullabaloo portion that follows afterward.
