Rides for the week of: Monday May 23 to Sunday May 30
We have all the regular rides this week, plus this Sunday we are heading out of town for a ride starting in Peterborough at Beavermede Park. It’s a glorious route along the Peterborough Rotary Greenway Trail all the way up to Lakefield where hopefully it will be much warmer than this past Sunday was. And if so, bring some ice-cream $ for the great ice-cream shop at the end of the trail. For the mountain bikers in the club, there’s ride posted for this coming Saturday, and Helmut always makes sure it’s fun. You can see all the details and also RSVP using your Cycle Club account.
Using the Discussion feature on Cycle Club: We’re all pretty conscious of trying to conserve gas these days, so if you are interested and able to carpooling, there’s a Discussion feature attached to each Event in Cycle Club. Just post a comment there and see what materializes. It’s a great way to communicate with others about any particular ride!
