This ride will be on the sort-of-easyish side, meaning relatively flat (but not totally). We’ll start in Port Hope at Gilmer’s Home Hardware parking lot which means we won’t have to climb the big hill before heading out along the Lakeshore. If you want to add an extra 20k to the route you could leave from Cobourg Canadian Tire at 9:30. This is one of Brian Hedney’s Ganaraska Freewheeler routes, so it’s sure to be a good one!
A note about Sunday rides: These are considered “mixed level” rides which means you can expect a variety of skill levels. Be prepared to break off into smaller groups according to ability. All participants must carry a route map or have it accessible by mobile phone, have a tire changing kit on-bike, and consider a short route plan in advance if you don’t wish to do the entire distance. While groups will naturally form, there are no designated ride-leaders for the different levels as expected on regular weeknight rides.
Start time: 10:00am (9:30 from Canadian Tire)
