Mich is hosting Saturday’s ride at 10 am. Meet at the parking lot at the south end of Toronto Street in Newcastle, near the waterfront. See his details below.
The ride can be exactly the same as the summer ride – very flat. During the ride, if we want new roads, we can decide to do Squair Rd instead of Pollard, or even do Concession 5 past the neat pond at the south end of Orono and then Lawrence to rejoin the route.
All those routes would be about 51 kms. We can decide what to do when we get to Pollard Rd.
Usually we stick together through the paths and last time we stuck together till almost the end of the ride.
I can have a map with shortcuts. Shortcuts would be about 25 and 35.
We would start at the parking lot at the south end of Toronto Street – the usual spot we start this ride from. There is no washroom though.
A picnic lunch would be nice, weather permitting.
This is a nice ride for E bikes since there are no hills to drain them and we ride slowly through the paths.
Let’s hope for a sunny day.

I also can’t make it – this time because I had too much fun jumping off a dock last weekend & gashed my foot. Sheesh.

I am having Nolan over for the weekend so will have to miss this ride unfortunately, unless I bring him for the bike path part. We would just ride on our own. We might make the picnic for a bit.

OK, I shall be there. However, I could be a tad slow on account of the fact that I haven’t done a Club ride since August!
