The weather forecast for Sunday looks somewhat promising with sunny skies and seasonal fall temperatures. Good time to get out for a Fall Colours Gravel Ride. The ride will be an out-and-back on The Hamilton-Brantford Rail Trail, starting in Hamilton, riding to Brantford, stopping for lunch and then returning to Hamilton. The gravel/trail ride is 67 km, with 90% hard packed gravel trail and the balance paved road. Ideally, you should have a gravel road bike or a hybrid/mountain bike. A tire width of 30 – 35 mm would be ideal but you can ride the trail with a road bike with 25 – 30 mm tires if you would like to experience gravel trail riding. Expect an average pace of 22 – 24 km/hr, plus or minus.
The ride will start from where the Hamilton-Brantford Rail Trail crosses Strudholme Road in Hamilton. Start time for the ride is 9:30 a.m.
