Tuesday July 24: Level 2 Ride

Pam will be leading us from King’s Field in Port Hope. Here is her description: “We will meet at King’s Field in Port Hope and head west at usual but this time we will do a loop instead of an out-and-back. It will mean a few new hills but everyone is getting so strong now that it will be a piece of cake. We will continue to take short pauses as needed for rehydration and to recover the will to live at the top of hills. It’s gonna be a blast!”

Start Time: 6:30 pm

Ride Leader: Pam Tate

Start Location: King’s Field, Victoria St. Port Hope

Thursday July 26: Level 2 Ride

Jim Berg will take us out to hills just north of Cobourg. Here is his description: “Baltimore and Back Version 2.”

“Route: North on D’Arcy, to Elgin, East to Greer Road, North to Danforth, East to Nagel, North to Hircock, back on Nagel, East on Van Luven, then South on
Meadowvale, Nagel, Hircock, Nagel, East on Danforth, South on Jarvis, East on Elgin, South on Workman, from Highway 2 follow Waterfront Trail back to Donegan Park.

About 20 km.

This route has a couple of hills but they are not steep. For these hills, slow and steady works very well.

On the way back on Danforth instead of going down Workman, there is the option of continuing on Danforth and doing Hill 60.”

Start Time: 6:30 pm

Ride Leader: Jim Berg

Start Location: Donegan Park 25 D’Arcy St. Cobourg
