B Group

Once across the Canal at hwy 20, we enter the rolling hills of Pelham and follow 16 road to Beamsville for a break at Tim's (around half way). Home is via Spring Creek Road ( a beautiful country road), Roland, Hansler, Hwy 20 etc.

Meander through the vineyards of St. Davids.  Mostly flat with Queenston climb at the end. Take the path if you like, regroup at the top.  Please don't drop your ride leader! Coffee stop at Balzac's in PD (I checked out Homestead - not impressed). Note new 4-way stop at Line 3 & 4-Mile Creek. Should be a nice day, see u there.

To Jordan through Pelham

135 km route to Dunnville via Pelham, Wellandport, Diltz Road. Stop in Dunnville at Timmie's for a break at 69kms. Returning via Inman Road, Feeder Canal Road to Wainfleet  Pelham. and Fireman's. Flat route. Pace will be steady.

Four hill ride: 2 before coffee break - welland canal locks & decew the 2 after coffee break - queenston heights and then finish off with the St Paul climb. Coffee break in Jordan!!!

Two days before the Summer Solstice Rides, I thought an easy cycle through Pelham and Welland would be a wise lead-up to the 162 km rides on the weekend. The wind is supposed to be NE so we would have it against us returning to Fireman's Park but the route back meanders as well....the route is negotiable.The break is around 50kms at Timmie's on Merritville and Hwy 20

I personally reconn'd this route by car.  It is mostly flat, except at the end.  Also mostly smooth straight pavement with paved shoulder.

Exercise caution (ride single & stay right) in sections without shoulder.  Coffee break at Tim's in Crystal Beach.

Counterclockwise from Firemen's across Canal, small stint on pathway, through Pelham, to Jordan - stop for Coffee at de la Terre (45K)

Head towards lake, along service road and into Port D, concession roads back with St. Paul Ave Climb to return

Port Colborne to Stevensville (the short way!)

parkway to east west Line, left on Townline, right on Carleton across the bridge to canal parkway to Thorold. Coffee stop at Tim's on Ormond street. Back onto the canal path to the Allanburg bridge to Garner.
