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 a park on the shores of Lake Ontario. It has a beach, and so if the weather is warm enough and you are game, bring your bathing suite and towel. We will then return on the same route back toward Newcastle. One the way, if it is REALLY hot we can stop for another 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?
Also if you have not ridden with me before, you MUST answer in the affirmative the following questions in the notes sections of the sign up page (for you own ease simply copy and paste the questions into the Notes section and type in your answers when you sign up):
