This route’s a Ganaraska Freewheelers route, so we know it’s always a good one! Despite the route map saying it starts at the Marina, the official start point will be at Donegan Park. Two distances to choose from. Medium or short! (well okay, we use the term “short” loosely since it’s actually 61k). Be sure to have a route map with you since we don’t have ride leaders for every ride at this time of the year.

Start time: 10am
Start Location: Donegan Park
Route map: Rice Lake Ramble Medium (74k) or Rice Lake Ramble Short (61k)

Yep, it’s earlier yet again. We’ll meet at 6:00 and take a nice easy ride around town for one hour. It’s probably going to be chilly, so don’t forget those gloves and a few layers. This is a ride that’s primarily geared for Level 1, but is also suitable for riders of all ability because we focus heavily on positioning in traffic, safety and group riding dynamics.

Start time: 6:00pm
Start location: The park on Carlisle between Westwood and Ewing
Ride leader: Anita Macklin

The rain will stop, and then it’s going to be clear but cool tomorrow (13°C) This time we are heading out west toward Port Hope then along the waterfront trail till you feel like turning around and coming back. That way, you can determine whatever distance you wish to do. Use the commenting section below to let others know you are riding and how far you might want to go.

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: The Park on Carlisle between Westwood and Ewing.
Route Map: Not necessary, we follow the Waterfront Trail.

This time of the year we don’t always have ride leaders, so plan to pair up with someone and be sure to have spare tires, pump etc. with you.

We will start this ride from the parking lot at The Mill (despite the fact the map shows it starting at Precious Corners). This will add 8km to the total distance for a total of 50k. Yeah yeah, of course the weather man says there’s a 30% chance of rain…but it also means a 70% likelihood that it won’t, and those are pretty good odds, don’t you think?

Start Time: 10:00am sharp

The days are shorter and evening rides are definitely cooler which might explain the frozen fingers on the Monday evening ride. :0 Moral of the story: dress warmly! Evening rides are going to start at 6:00 now. Make sure you have lights on your bikes both front and back. And wear layers! (Or have a hot tub on standby)

Start time: 6:00pm
Start location: Port Hope Town Hall
Ride leader: Pam Tate

Not bad, weather wise. Daylight however is shrinking in quantity, thus necessitating the use of lights on both the fronts and backs of our bikes. We’ll just go out for a one hour cruise around town, riding at a nice leisurely pace and enjoying the crisp fall weather.

Start time: 6:30pm
Start location: The Park on Carlisle St. between Westwood and Ewing
Ride leader: Anita Macklin
Lights required at: 6:50pm (Sunset is 7:20)

Come on out! You never know how many more evening rides we will get in before the time changes and our evening rides end for the year. Officially the evening rides will continue until the end of October (weather permitting). The start times however will become earlier as we progress toward that.

There are three distances to choose from so there’s a distance option for everyone. The 36 km route is fairly easy-ish so should be manageable for Level 2 riders who want to give it a try going a bit further than usual. The other distances….well, of course you know there will be a hill or two.

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: The Arena on Furnace St. in Cobourg

It’s going to be reeaaaaallly warm tomorrow!  But also rainy. With any luck we will still get the evening ride in. Pam’s going to lead the Port Hope folks out for a tour around town and it’s surrounding area. Thanks, Pam! Make sure you all have lights on your bikes, both front and back. The days are getting shorter fast, by about 2 minutes every day!
