This Friday at 5:30, we ride from the home of Mel and Mich (M&M) in Newcastle.

Mich is aiming for a nice flat early season ride and he will provide route maps.

Remember to bring for the potluck your buffet offering and beverages, as well as your crystal, porcelain, and silverware.

One more thing everyone – pray for good weather – we need a Friday ride!! Current forecast for Friday calls for cloudy and a high of 12. So dress warmly.

Looking forward to seeing y’all.

Join us this Tuesday at 10:00 am for a nice flat ride for the start of the season. Paul B. is your host – he will provide for riders a map and cuesheet for a simple ride from Peterborough’s Parkhill Bridge to Young’s Point and back. Map shows using the trail to Lakefield but riders can also use the road.

People can just go to Lakefield and eat and shop, or to Young’s Point and eat and shop at Lockside Trading or eat at the end of the ride. There is a restaurant beside the trail where we park at the Parkhill Street Bridge or some might go to Verona’s.

Starting location: Parkhill Bridge is at the corner of Parkhill and Auburn St. This is where the Greenway trail crosses Parkhill. You park on Auburn St. beside the trail. Below are two route options to get you to starting location.

Simplest: go up CR28 which becomes Hwy 7. Turn right at Parkhill rd. Go through the city and just east of George and Water St., cross the river. Immediately turn left onto Auburn St.

Faster route that doesn’t go through the city: Go up CR28 to Hwy 115. Go east on Hwy 115 to the end. There you will go straight ahead on Television rd. Go up Television road to Parkhill rd. Turn left. After passing Armour rd., go down the hill to the river. Turn right just before the bridge onto Auburn St.

Join us at Port Hope’s Town Hall parking lot on Friday at 5:30 when we’ll Go Fourth – a relatively flat 48 km route with plenty of opportunity to turn back if you prefer a shorter distance. As there is no host, make sure you print out your own map!

Please comment if you plan to ride – and feel free to suggest a dining option!

Folks, it looks like the weather gods will follow through on the nasty weather prediction for our kick-off ride tomorrow.

Fear not, we shall feast!

We’re looking forward to a hearty waiver-signing party. Arrive as early as 4:00 pm to reconnect with great cycling friends and enjoy a buffet only Freewheelers can pull off.

Please comment to let Brenda and Wayne know you’ll be there!

Vivian is hosting our first Tuesday ride of the season following the Millers ride from the Mill in Cobourg.

A note from your host:

I have ridden Payne a few times this spring and it is hard packed dirt. Crossen is closed so we will stay on #15. Cornish Hollow also has some hardpacked dirt areas but I have ridden it. Please print a map from the website. See you at 10am ready to ride!
