Head up to Stouffville this weekend, far from the crowded trails downtown. This ride will get you out into the country for a change and has some long straight stretches. It's as close to a Country Cruise as Sunday Urban Roller gets. The route takes advantage of the repaved and widened Ninth Line on the return leg.
Lunch is at Tim Hortons, with Harveys and McDonalds at the same intersection. You may still wish to bring your own lunch and snacks to avoid lineups and contact.
This ride is considered as Advanced Urban Roller due to the pace and longer than usual stretches without regrouping, including one 14.5 km long section. It is not recommended for Leisure Wheelers or people who haven't done much riding yet this year.
Meet for a 10 am departure from the Municipal parking lot, south-east corner of McCowan and Bushby, one block north of Ellesmere, just east of the Scarborough Town Centre. The McCowan RT station is closest.
The Ride with GPS map for the route is linked below, as well as a simplified cue sheet. The RwGPS auto-generated cuesheet has not been checked, but the linked cue sheet has been optimised for Sunday Urban Rollers.
If the ride is cancelled due to weather or other reasons, the cancellation will be posted Sunday morning on the website around 8 am. Please check before leaving for the ride.
See you Sunday.
