The last out-of-town gravel grinder of 2024 is ready and it's a good one! The ride is scheduled for Saturday Nov. 2 BUT WE MIGHT SWITCH TO SUNDAY NOV. 3 depending on the weather forecast. Plan to meet at the Pitcock Dam Parking Lot South for a 10 am start (467-453 Rivercrest Dr, Woodstock, ON N4S 5W5).
The 104 km route goes through scenic rolling farmland. No single track or "technical" bits. Highlights include:
• Almost 70 km of dirt!
• The entire Hickson rail trail!
• Coffee stop at Snapping Turtle Roasters in St. Mary's! (https://www.snappingturtlecoffee.com/)
• Aprés ride beer and food at Brickhouse Brewpub! (https://upperthamesbrewing.ca/brickhouse-brewpub/)
• If we have to switch the ride date to Sunday Nov. 3, you'll get an extra hour of sleep (YAY!).
Carpooling encouraged! Aim to leave by 8 am for ample time to get to Woodstock.
Don't let this one slip by or you will spend the snowy winter imagining what might have been. Don't be that person!
