Ride With GPS

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.

Winds are forescasted from the south so we are heading into the winds to start out. Hopefully wind direction does not change!!

West on Mountain Rd & then south onto Garner until Chippawa Creek. South onto Moyer & then east onto Netherby. Short south on Stevensville Rd to Timmies & then back to east on Netherby & north on the Parkway. Follow the Parkway until Whirpool Rd with short stretches on Stanley & Portage & then back on Mountin to return to Firemen's Park.

West on Mountain & Taylor/Thorald Townline south to Chippiwa Creek west. Continue on Moyer/Doan's Ridge south. Veer right onto Miller Rd to Forkes Rd/Fox Rd east into Stevensville for a stop at Timmies on Stevensville Rd (across from Safari Niagara).

Zig/zag between Lakeshore & Scott St to build additional distance (if shorter distance is desired stay on Larkeshore & take East & West line (regroup at E&W Line & Townline Rd).

Mountain Rd/Taylor Rd/Thorold Townline RD tosouth of Welland. Head east to the Parkway. Stop at Front St Timmies & then back to Firemens.

A modified opening day route.Head southwest towards Welland, then east to bypass Stevensville & return on the parkway.

Just over 45 Km ride into NOTL with a short stop at Balzac's.

Winds are forecast to be coming fron N/NE at approximately 10 Km. The plan is to ride along the Parkway into Niagara-on-the-Lake. Optional bike path for those that prefer that option.
