THE WHEELY FUN CLUB NEWS!

Wednesday July 31: Level 3 and 4 ride

Posted on | 5 Comments

“We’ve done this route in the past couple of years but just to change it up and give you a different perspective on the same countryside we’ll do it the other way round. Don’t worry the RWGPS reflects this reversed direction of travel! The name’s new too. Hint for those of you trying to crack the naming convention: What was the original name of Ottawa and why? Looking forward to a great ride. Come and join us!” (Allan)

Level 4 option: this week it will consist of a 5km extension that starts around the 24km mark and covers a loop around Eddystone making it a 51km route.  After completing the extension, the route reconnects to the shorter L3 route until the end.  Hey, if you aren’t sure about keeping up with the level 4 group, feel free to start out with them and then you always have the option of waiting at the 23km mark if you want to wait and re-join the Level 3 group ride.

Ride Leader: Allan Dennis (Level 3), Self-navigated (Level 4)
Start time: 6:30pm
Route map (Level 3): 45 km “L3 APD – John By’s Way” link to map on Ride with GPS
Route map (Level 4): 51km route map with Eddystone extension route map on Ride with GPS
Elevation: 399m (L3), 482m (L4)
