Sunday, December 11th: Ride from Donegan Park 10am

Forget the Christmas shopping, you’ve still got more than two weeks to go. There’s no snow predicted for Sunday, so you’d better not put your bike away yet because we’ll be riding again on Sunday. It’s predicting 2° so far and sunshine! Hey, with any luck we’ll be riding right up until Christmas time this year. Rumour has it that a few riders braved it and went out for a ride this morning.

As with Thursday, meet at Donegan Park and depending on wind patterns we’ll either head east toward Wicklow Beach or alternatively out to Theatre Rd and then to Cornish Hollow and beyond. Either way, the start point will be Donegan Park.

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: Donegan Park
Route: If wind is north/south: Wicklow Beach and back (39km)

Sunday, November 27th: “Perrytown Pedlar” route, (10am, Port Hope start)

We’ll do it all again on Sunday, just in case you miss Thursday’s ride. Take the 42km or the 24k option, your choice. Begin in Cobourg and ride to the start point to add even more distance.

Jersey orders
By the way, the shirt order goes in on Thursday so if you haven’t already dropped off your payment, please do so before then or you’ll be shirtless! So far about 30-35 people have ordered shirts so we’re going to look awesome riding down the road in style come springtime. If you miss it this time around you’ll have to wait until we have 18 more sold before we place another order.

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: The Town Hall in Port Hope

So, what do you say?

Thursday, November 24th: “Perrytown Pedlar” route, (10am, Port Hope start)

This is one of those wonderful Ganaraska Freewheelers routes that always prove to be well thought out, and take in the best roads. Since we’ve been seeing a lot of Cobourg lately, we’ll try a Port Hope start and see some new scenery. It’s a 42km route with a shorter 24k option. If you want to add some distance, you could start in Cobourg and ride to the start point rather than driving. So far the weather is showing 8° and sunny. Not bad for November!

Start time: 10:00am
Start location: The Town Hall in Port Hope
