Wainfleet

Come and join us this Sunday (August 11th) for a gravel ride.  The ride will be a clockwise loop around Wainfleet following gravel roads and hard pack rail trails.  The gravel/trail ride is 73 km, with 65% gravel (hard packed gravel rail trail and gravel roads) 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.  Expect an average pace of 22 – 24 km/hr, plus or minus.

Southwest wind tomorrow morning so we'll head out to Wainfleet.  Stop at Black Sheep Coffee Roasters in Welland on the way back.
