THE WHEELY FUN CLUB NEWS!

Level 3: Monday June 3 and Thursday June 6

Posted on | 5 Comments

Note: The second ride has been re-scheduled until Thursday this week, rather than Wednesday.

Days are getting longer! We have about 2 hours and 20 minutes of daylight for evening rides this week so we will try to extend the distance a little. We are riding from Port Hope on Monday night.  On Thursday night we will start with the Level 4 group and separate into two groups (Level 3 and 4) as the ride progresses.

What to expect on Level 3: This is a group ride. In the spirit of a group ride, all participants are expected to stay together without dropping any rider off the back, nor should any individual move ahead of the ride leader who will select and set a pace that fits within the Level 3 parameters. 

Monday June 3: Level 3

Ride leader: Debbie Parks
Start time: 6:30pm
Sunset: 8:48pm
Route map: “Dales Route Port Hope”, (42km) Link to map on Ride With GPS
Start location: King’s Field in Port Hope

Thursday June 6: Level 3

This Thursday we are going to try and squeeze in a long ride with the 2 hours 20 min of available daylight so we’ll keep up a good pace and hopefully get 57km in. But if time really does limit us we also have a shorter 44km route to fall back on. We’ll need lights on bikes for sure! 
Ride Leader: Mike Collins
Start time: 6:30
Sunset: 8:50pm
Elevation:  400m (short route)
Route map: Centerton and Grafton 44km route option
