RIDE CANCELLED due to forecast showing 70 percent chance of rain with possible thunderstorms. However, its too nice of a ride to miss, so it will be rescheduled for two weeks from now, replacing the Trails of Mississauga ride. Lets hope for better weather then.
We're offering this ride twice this year. The late season version means that the paths are less crowded, and there's a chance of some fall colours. Come try the rarely seen eastern sections of the Waterfront Trail. Enjoy the nicer parts of Pickering, Ajax, and Whitby. Return from Whitby by GO train is an option. There are newly constructed portions that eliminate the previously difficult sections near Whitby. Lunch is at Tims in Whitby.
The RwGPS map and cue sheet (linked below) were updated (Sept 2015) to avoid the busy boardwalk section on the return trip and show the new section.
For great general maps go to the Waterfront Trail website: www.waterfronttrail.org and pick the first 3 maps of the Pickering to Port Hope section
Meet for a 10am departure from the parking lot of the Rouge Hill GO Station, located at Lawrence Avenue East and East Avenue, just east of Port Union Road.
Please print a copy of the cue sheet provided from the link listed below. Please note that the Ride with GPS cue sheet directions have not been edited and may not be accurate, but the linked cue sheet has been checked.
