Rain predicted for noon - brief stop at Tim's in PC - hoping to stay dry!

Start in the small parking lot on Westchester close to Oakdale at the head of the Merrit Trail.

it's the SW corner of Westchester and Oakdale.   The other corners are a car dealer (nope), Mom's donuts and Avondale (nope).

South wind tomorrow so we will head down to Ridgeway with a stop at Pie Guys.  From Ridgeway, we will make our way to the Niagara Parkway and then home at Firemens Park.

For this ride, I propose we keep the pace in the low 30s, although it may creep up a bit if the wind is at our backs. There are also a couple of sprint-worthy stretches along the Parkway coming home (you probably know the ones I mean) where individual riders may pick up the pace and break away, but as always we’ll regroup at the Chippawa bridge for the first of these and Victoria avenue for the second. B riders interested in nudging toward a moderate A pace are most welcome to join and test their legs on this no-drop ride.
