Program-X thanks Country Cruises for this opportunity to enjoy one of their favourite west-end rides on a Saturday.
A little bit of Ludlum vibe! This Country Cruise ride offers the options of rail trail riding and some hill climbing all in the lovely countryside northwest of Hamilton. All routes go on the unpaved Hamilton Brantford Rail Trail before lunch in Ancaster. The long route passes through St. George and Ancaster. The short route does not go into Ancaster, lunch in Dundas. All routes do Clara's climb out of Dundas.
The "train station" (Dundas Valley Trail Centre) on the Hamilton Brantford Rail Trail is an alternate lunch stop, with facilities.
Start: 9:00am - Meet at the Waterdown Shopping Centre in Waterdown on the northwest corner of HWY 5 (also called Dundas St. E.) and Hamilton St. N. Tim Horton's - Dundas St. E. in Waterdown
