About this event
RWGPS Route Links
The Routes We'll be starting this week at Ron and Donna's secret Covid isolation hangout. The routes are a variation of the early season South Frontenac Mixer routes. They start with the always fun Wagon Trail and the challenging climbs out of the Gould Lake Conservation area. They then head out west on the Cataraqui Trail to the Opinicon area before returning along the pretty Little Long Lake Road stretch. The routes are a great mix of paved road, hiking trail, rail trail, and gravel road.
Car Pooling Please consider!
Post Ride Refreshments I'll be serving some post ride victuals. Also bring a bathing suit for some post ride water activities.
