Sue and Marshall, your Tuesday Ride coordinators, will be leading this Tuesday’s ride and invite you to join them at Orono Park at 10:00 for a beautiful fall ride through the roads, parks and waterfront of the Orono / Bowmanville / Newcastle area. A 60 kms (40 kms shorter route) relatively flat ride including 10kms of downhill from Hampton to downtown Bowmanville, a scenic ride through Bowmanville Park, a stop at the fish ladder on Bowmanville Creek, 5kms of newly paved bike path from Waverly Rd to Wilmot Creek on the Waterfront trail and concluding with that great Durham pavement on the final 20 kms as we make our way back up to Orono from the Newcastle waterfront.
Our after ride picnic will be held in the warmth of the sun shining down on Orono park. Be sure to bring your comfy chair, a yummy lunch, your favorite beverage and maybe a warm winter coat in case that sun isn’t as warm as we hope.
Hoping to see you all in Orono and a reminder, especially with the recent climb in the COVID-19 stats, that we must all continue that we must all continue following standard social distancing rules.

Sorry, but I can’t make this wonderful ride but I should be in Algonquin on Tuesday. I’m at Silent Lake right now, where there is still lots of Fall colour. It could be a different story in Algonquin . Have a great ride everyone 🚴🏻♀️😊🚴🏻♀️

And….thank all of you who were involved for giving so much information on the ride routes, even for those who don’t have Ride with GPS so everyone can print ‘n bring or download to their phones. Very thoughtful.

We were thinking about cycling but have decided to be on the safer side of C 19 as had our small wedding celebrations outside and all BUT seriously do not wish to risk spreading anything. Thus as a precautionary measure will not ride with the club for a bit……sorry to miss this one and Saturday.
The wedding was absolutely beautiful………
