The long range forecast for Sunday, October 27th looks promising so we'll give Fall Colours gravel ride from Brantford to Cambridge along the Grand River another try.  The ride will follow the SC Johnson Trail from Brantford to Paris and then connect with the Cambridge to Paris Rail Trail on the east side of The Grand River to Cambridge.

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!

Pie guy's Ridgeway, returning via the Parkway 89 km.

Start the month off right with a 100km pop-up gravel adventure in Cambridge and Paris! Meet at the Park Hill Lot in Cambridge for a 10am start (18 Park Hill Rd W, Cambridge, ON). Highlights include a forest tract, optional rail ballast section for the adventurous, and a cafe stop at Paris Bakery. Plan on a pub pint afterwards! Message me if you're coming and/or want to carpool. Moderate B gravel pace since school is starting (no child left behind).

To Ridgeway for treats at Nature's Corner

Parkway to Fort Erie & west on Dominion to Ridgeway for a stop at Pie Guys. 

45 km return ride is along the Friendship Trail, White Rd, Doan's Ridge Rd, Thorold Stone, Garner & Mountain.

Return home can be shortened by taking Wilhelm or Point Abino Roads off the Trail.

Breakfast at the Watering Can Greenhouse Cafe & Bakery
