Did someone say hills? This one’s got lots of them and it isn’t for the squeamish. The second half is easier though and you’ll get a break as we return on the Waterfront Trail. I overheard talk at the Social last evening that this ride is not as hard as the Rice Lake Century ride (we will reschedule that one for August or September). It’s actually quite a pleasant ride, and we see some new scenery.
In Orono there’s a nice restaurant called the Firehall Bistro where we can grab a bite to eat or just re-load drink bottles.
For anyone wanting to do a shorter ride, or if the forecast is not favourable, simply ride only as far west as Osaca. Turn south on county road 65 and weave your way south to meet up with the route again on the Waterfront Trail. Approx. 60km
Start time: 9:00am
Start location: The arena parking lot on Furnace St in Cobourg

I am interested
I’m definitely in for this one! Climb, climb,climb!
It won’t be pretty, but I am in for the hundred. (Unless I think of a good excuse !) Thanks Deb !
And I hope to just go without a break. Hope.
I expect to make it to this ride. lunch or no lunch, Pace in the mid 20k/hr
Planning to be there. Pace will be just enough to get dropped by Tara. Again.
Ha not likely Mark LOL I’m expecting it will be cancelled due to the rain 🙁
