About this event
RWGPS Route Links
The Routes "All good things must come to an end", and so this will be the last official Gravel Frontenac ride of the season. We'll start close to home in Odessa, and head out on the quiet gravel roads that go up and around Varty Lake. The terrain is mixed farmland. All three routes cross the old railway bridge in Yarker that is now part of the Cataraqui Trail (see picture above).
Car Pooling Please consider!
Post Ride Refreshments We'll head into the friendly Jiffy Grill in Odessa for post ride chatter and refreshments.
