Itinerary:

This is my favorite bit of the Waterfront Trail, and I have ridden the section between Grimsby and Pt Hope. The ride features beautiful views of Lake Ontario. There are four or five medium sized hills on the route, but apart from them it is quite flat. Most of the route will be on low traffic roads, but there will be somewhat more traffic when we ride through Port Hope. Please do not sign up if you are not safe riding in traffic.

Once we are in Port Hope, we will eat our lunch in the park over looking the Ganaraska River. We will then return on the same route back toward Newcastle. One the way, if it is hot we can stop for a swim at a nearby beach. Once back in our cars, we can drive to the nearby restaurant at the Newcastle Marina at its patio for after ride refreshments. <

If you are driving please tell me how many people and bikes you can take INCLUDING you and your bike?
