Rides for this week: Monday July 11 to Sunday July 17

Posted on July 12, 2022July 19, 2022 | No Comments

Yay for the rain we have had, but let’s hope it doesn’t interfere with our rides this week (Tuesday evenings seem to be cursed!). It’s that time of year when many are vacationing and out of town, and there are fewer people on rides, so we are keeping things local (meaning start locations in Port Hope, or Grafton) For Level 1 and 2, be sure to arm yourself with a little ice-cream $ because you never know where you’ll end up, and at this time of year ice-cream seems to crop up frequently. For the 3/4s, it’s a Century Ride on Sunday, but there are choices—50, 100 or 160km options!
