This week we will ride from the Harrowsmith K&P Parking Lot East towards Perth Rd and return a distance of 30 to 35km depending on how we feel. With the return of warm temperatures a swim is a possibility at either Hogan or Sydenham Lake. We will have coffee at the Deli in Sydenham. Departure time is 0900hrs. Hope to see you there!  

A leisurely weekly ride of 20 to 30km (group consensus) with a coffee/ice cream break in the middle. This ride is ideal for those new to cycling or those getting back in the saddle after a few years away. All rides will be on either on the K&P or Cataraqui Trail. We will never ride on the road. Pace will be 10 to 15 km/hour and each week we will depart from a different trail parking lot. Junior participants are warmly welcomed and encouraged to ride along. See you then!
