Thursday August 2nd: Ride from Port Hope “Go Fourth” (48 or 64 or 71 km)
We’ll start in Port Hope at 9am for the regular 48km route. The route is a relatively flat (code for easy) route and is suitable for most riders. There are also a few other choices to lengthen the distance and add a little challenge if that’s your preference.
New Riders: Don’t worry about distance and speed—this route is easy to shorten further if necessary. Take your time, do a pace that fits you and enjoy the scenery. You won’t get left behind, we promise. We have three different pace groups and the “Scenic” group is meant specifically for new riders and those who want to take it easy.
64 km: Start at Canadian Tire at 8:30am
71 km (with Bickle Hill): Start at Canadian Tire for 8:30am and on the return from Port Hope: left at Theatre Rd. continue straight to do Bickle Hill, right on Williamson, cross Cty Rd. 2 to continue onto Danforth, right at Ontario and right at Elgin St.
Regular Start time: 9am
Start location: Port Hope Town Hall

Ride Leader (Scenic Group): To be determined
Please indicate which route you are planning to do so others can plan to ride with you too! 🙂 Also, please let us know if you are willing and able to lead the Scenic Group.
