On Thursday’s ride we opted to leave the really aggressive hill climbing for a little later in the season, so we set off to do what we felt like, resulting in a route that we really enjoyed and are going to do again this Sunday. Of course there are a few challenging hills to get the heart rate up! This ride is just over 40km but those wishing to add 22 km to it can meet at Donegan Park on D’Arcy Street in Cobourg. You’ll have an earlier start time, and will leave Donegan Park right before the Level 2’s set out.
If there are riders who would like a Level 2 option, they could ride out to either Colborne or Wicklow Beach from Donegan Park, then turn back, providing there is interest and a ride leader who will volunteer to lead this.
Date: Sunday, May 10th
Meet: Level 2, Donegan Park at 10:00
Level 3/4: 62 km, Donegan Park, 10:00
Level 3/4: 40 km, Haldimand Community Centre, north side of County Road 2 in Grafton, 10:30
Ride Leaders: Level 2 – ?
Level 3: Maria Siemiaszko
Route Map: Printable route map here “We Made it up as we went along!” or link to it on Ride with GPS
Level 2: there is no map as the ride follows the Waterfront Trail out and back again.
Bring your membership card or completed membership/guest rider form and payment. Helmets are mandatory.
I realize the map is not immediately on the post. I need someone with more skills to add that on soon. I’ll be starting at the arena in Grafton.
Map and the link are now there.
I’ll try this tm. Will probably be left behind once the climbing gets going. Lol.
I plan to start with Maria at the Grafton Arena, and ride the outlined route as far as Telephone Road. Rather than heading back to the lake, I will likely continue west on Telephone and to take in a few more hills to make the ride about 50 km in total length.
Hi:
Nice meeting everyone today, I made it back without incident. Thanks Tammy and Maria for the guidance.
Dale
