Itinerary:

IF YOU HAVE NOT RIDDEN WITH ME BEFORE, you MUST answer in the affirmative the questions below.

This ride has lots of hills, which is why we have rated it as a D4. The route snakes around to use mostly back roads that are paved. We will stay off busy roads, except for a few short sections that are unavoidable. We will eat lunch at a restaurant in Bewdley - often the Rhino Roadhouse because of its cool name and patio.

We will start in the hamlet of Starkville, a little north east of Oshawa, and travel to the village of Bewdley, on the south end of Rice Lake and travel the same way back. The ride will be about 70 km long.
After the ride, those who want can go for refreshments back in Toronto.

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 ABSOLUTELY MUST answer in the affirmative the following questions in the notes sections of the sign up page (for your own ease simply copy and paste the questions into the Notes section and type in your answers when you sign up):
1. Do you agree to wear a bicycle helmet?
2. Are you experienced, comfortable, and safe riding in traffic i.e. with automobiles?
3. Are you able to bring a spare tube for your bicycle?
4. Does your bicycle fit you properly?
5. Is your bicycle in decent shape ie no rusty chain etc, working brakes?
