Group B - Psychedelic LSD ride to Grimsby

Far Out Man! Long Steady Distance Ride to Grimsby.  109 km.  Coffee stop at Station One in Grimsby. I suggest a steady pace of 30-32 km/hr, but we can work out our speed issue on the road. There are not a lot of hills on this route, but there is a fairly long climb out of Grimsby on 30 Rd., which is the least bad option, and a few uphill sections on Roland.  The climb on 30 Rd. is mostly about 3% with one steep section which goes to 6%, then 9%, with a mercifully brief section at 14%. Even though I’m not the strongest climber, I was still able to manage it.  So, take it at your own pace and we will regroup at the top. Route has been fully reconned, by car and bike, so there should be no surprises.

Louis, you may want to check the suggested pace. B rides are normally 27-29 kph

Thanks Bill. The rides do seem to be getting faster as the season progresses, but we will absolutely keep the group together and set a pace everyone is happy with. We have several long sections of straight road with wide shoulders and winds are variable and from the NE, so hopefully we will have a tailwind outbound. That should help us go a little faster.
