Thursday July 16th: Level 3/4 Morning Ride from Grafton

**Don’t forget that the new July/Agust start time for mornings is 9:00am**

Thursday morning rides typically have a small group of people and with Summer here many are on vacation, so it’s important that if you plan to ride that you leave a comment so others will know there will be someone to ride with! Also, please keep in mind that the Thursday morning rides are self-guided, so there may or may not be a ride leader/coordinator present.

**75km Route: you’ll start earlier than everyone else, riding from Cobourg to the start point in Grafton. (That will mean an 8:20 start time at Donegan Park for the 75km route.)

Start time: 9:00am (regular group) or 8:20 (75km group)
Start location: Grafton Arena on Hwy 2 (Donegan Park for the 75k group)

  1. Planning to ride. Most likely from Grafton. I can’t see the map, the link doesn’t seem to take me to a map

  2. I’ve found the same thing but if you go to Route Maps at the top of this page you can find it under the Grafton Rides. I am thinking of cycling from home and meeting up with the group en route. What distance(s) are you thinking of?

  3. Are you kidding??? I don’t get out of bed until 8:30!! Maybe next week. Us old guys need our beauty sleep you know!

  4. ok …it’s late and I’m slightly oxygen deprived from tonight’s ride…how long is the ride from Grafton?

    • Don’t know if anyone made it. Got to Donegon Park about 8:21 and then Grafton by 8:55 (that is by my bike computer time) and never saw anyone although there were 2 cars in the Grafton Rec center parking lot without bike racks. Anyway was a great day for a ride and the map is pretty good although I do have one question “Is Station Rd in Grafton the same as the Old Danforth Rd?). Scared the crap out of my self on a downhill run when doing a little over 65kph my front wheel started to shimmy over a very rough patch. I’ll know better for the next time. The climb at Eddystone also almost did me in.

      • I was there and Paul too ( I am horrible with names, so I hope he excuses me if I used the wrong one). Paul rode from Port Hope and I drove to Grafton (my car was the one covered in run stickers) we two left at 9:03 and saw no one coming west on hwy 2. Sorry we missed we!

        • Sorry I missed the two of you. What time did you arrive in Grafton? It would have been more fun as a threesome.

          • I got there about 8:50 and used the washroom before meeting Paul at the enterance about 8:55
