On Sunday, July 20th I will be leading a Caledon Trailway gravel ride from Terra Cotta. The ride follows county roads (gravel and paved) from Terra Cotta to Palgrave where it connects to the Caledon Trailway and follows the rail trail back to Terra Cotta. The gravel/trail ride is 81 km, with two thirds hard packed gravel trail and the balance paved road. Ideally, you should have a gravel road bike or a hybrid/mountain bike with a tire width of 30 – 35 mm. Expect an average pace of 20 – 22 km/hr, plus or minus. We will stop in Palgrave for a refreshment Break (approximately 51 km mark). The ride is categorized as a ‘B’ ride, primarily for distance and elevation, not pace.
The ride will start at the south end of the Caledon Trailway on Brick Lane in Terra Cotta. Start time for the ride is 10:00 a.m. Travel time to the starting point from Firemen’s Park is 1 hour and 30 minutes.
