There is no Friday ride this week. Instead, we’re joining the Northumberland Hills Cycling Club for a ride along the Lang Hastings Trail.
Meet in Hastings at Lock 18 for a 10:00 a.m. ride start and a route that has something for everyone!
You’ll find the full details here on the NHCC website.

Does anyone know if the trail is suitable for road bikes? Or if there is a map? I don’t see one for the road ride on the NHCC site.

Hey Barb – as this is a NHCC ride, can you make a comment on their site – Maria is inviting comments and your question will be of interest to other riders, ours included.

Map is simple as it is out and back. There was some discussion of having one, but it was such a simple route, the need was questioned. You can also ask Maria about the map decision.

I know that this will not be a “road bike” ride. We did this a couple of years ago and I found it much more comfortable on my “town” bike…so leave your road bike at home…for those who have the luxury of more than one bike.😊

Agreed Klaus. We did it on road bikes and at every intersection crossing there was gravel. Cross bike material for sure.

Oh, and I won’t be able to ride this due to family obligations…

Is there a paved shoulder on C.R. 45 between Hastings and Norwood? I don’t really like the notion of riding on a busy (it is the weekend) highway with no shoulder. What is 40, north from Norwood, like for traffic?

No their is no paved shoulder on #45, #40 is a beautiful county road and imagine it is flat for 20 km

Weather forecast for Saturday looks good 😊 So Richard will be cycling the trail out and back. We’re kinda map oriented family, so any basic map would be extra nice.

Wahoo, Richard found a map which shows the trail, I believe it’s the one that goes all the way to Peterborough. 🙂

Richard will bring some extra maps. I hadn’t realized before but it’s part of the Trans Canada Trail.
