Itinerary:

Note: If we get more drivers, I will increase the number of the participants. If you are a driver, please indicate how many people and bikes that you can take on your car.

We leave Toronto early in the morning, so we can enjoy the lovely country morning ride near Waterloo. After the ride, we visit some awesome historic places in Kitchener/Waterloo.

I have never been to this region before, so I would like to see some nice places there!! Please be on time for the carpooling. We don't wait for people.

Biking distance is 35 km. Elevation: + 185 / - 185 m. It is an easy short ride. We will ride at the pace of 20km/hr. However, I would recommend to have a road bike, which will save you lots of energy.

Please download the map on your phone or print it out. We ride on our own speed. However, I like to socialize, so it can be good to stay together. We can discuss more when we meet.

11:00am-5:00pm
There are so many awesome places to visit. Since we don¡¦t have too much time, I select three nice places as follows:
Woodside National Historic Site
Homer Watson House and Gallery
Waterloo Region Museum
-->These awesome places have very good reviews.

5:00pm-> If people would like to have a drink or grab a snack at a local coffee shop, that's great. If not, let's head back to Toronto!
