Join us for the Barb and Mich Birthday Ride, hosted by Katherine. The ride starts at Katherine’s house in Port Hope.Naturally, we shall follow Katherine’s Ride offering 52- and 36- kilometre options. However, if Sylvan Glen Road hasn’t been repaired by then we will have to make a minor detour near the end. BrianH will explain the change, if it is required, at the start of the ride.
Pot-luck to follow.

This is a tough route so we might go south from 7 th line on 10 versus staying on 7 th at Perrytown …..as it’s all new road on 10 th line (with a nice bike path even) to 5 th and meet up there with the group.

I plan to ride in from Cobourg and do the short ride but I like Jennifer’s option and may then continue on home down 10. Pot-luck is a maybe.

We all know that Katherine is a very influential Port Hoper and I guess she told them to get on with the resurfacing of Sylvan Glen Road. I am pleased to inform you that they have done as they were told and that we are able to ride the route as outlined on the map.

it’s a long walk to Katherine’s house from ours, but we’ll be there for the ride and supper 😉

Please bring your own map, if possible. However, I will have a few b/w copies on hand if anyone should need one. See you on Friday!

I will try to make it as long as Laura gets home in time to let me off my babysitting duties. Could be there for the PL anyway. Hope to make a pie, Katherine, maybe with baby Liam’s help.

Looking forward to seeing everyone here in the summer. I too did reconnaissance on Sylvan Glen Road last night. Freshly surfaced. Be careful though, could be loose bits.
Barb, you may regret your hope for cake 🎂…😘. Catherine and I have been busy bees!

A party without cake is really just a meeting.

Katherine – thank you so much for looking after us so well last night. Our Friday rides have been so good this year, but this was one of the best! I have posted a few pictures on the GFW Facebook page. Regrettably, I did not have my camera with me for the birthday celebrations. Maybe someone else can post a picture or two of the “birthday girl and boy” in action 🙂

Harold arrived home safe-and-sound and phoned Katherine to say that he had done so 🙂

Another reminder that next Friday’s ride starts at the gorgeous country home of Bess and that there will be a follow-up pot-luck. Ignore the post that mentions the ride starting at the Port Hope Town Hall as that is no longer the case!
