Taking the advantage of the last Niagara Bike train before they stop the operation after the Labour Day Weekend, we are going to do the RIDE TO NIAGARA FALLS AND TAKE THE GO TRAIN BACK again.
Date: Saturday September 4th. Start: Burlington GO station south parking lot. 2101 Fairview St, Burlington. Time: 8:00 am. Distance: 100 km.
Return GO train to Burlington: Boarding at 3:16 pm arriving at 4:36 pm Burlington GO station: https://goo.gl/maps/u6vaS7JCGPR19tTT6 We will have two options for our riders.
1) Easier route along the lakefront and Niagara-On-The-Lake. This is the less challenging of the two with pancake flat terrain and smooth pavements of service roads and Niagara-On-The-Lake with plenty of bake shops, ice cream stands and fruit stands. You can virtually eat your way to Niagara Falls if you wish! Lots of fruit stands this time of the year! RWGPS file: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/36531834
2) More challenging but scenic route of the two routes. We will climb up to the top of Niagara Escarpment from Stoney Creek and then ride along the ridge on mostly Ridge Road. We will ride through Ball's Fall Conservation Area, Effingham Hill, along Welland River and Niagara River to Niagara Falls. RWGPS file: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/36709203
These 2 routes will be the same until the 17 km mark. After that riders will not meet until they reach Tap Brewhouse: https://goo.gl/maps/6NxnxcXmuXWWtLSH9 You will need to ride 100 km on both routes to reach your destination. There are no short cuts. With moderate usual speed, we should be in Niagara Falls between 1:00 -1:30. Plenty of time to grab a quick beer, late lunch/early dinner.
