Monthly Touring Schedule

Nice ride with 6 participants. Some hills on the way up. Stopped at the Shed & had an easy ride back.

Touring 1: Meet location is Creditview and Heritage 9am. Following the road clean-up we will be riding from Terra Cotta to Alton. where we will stop for a break. I have it on good authority from Alton resident Karen Henderson that the Alton Mill is the place to stop! RePete

(disregard the start time noted above because it will depend on when the clean-up is completed)

We'll meet at Creditview & Old School for the spring clean-up. After the clean-up is finished we'll adjourn to Credit View public school (SW corner Mississauga & King)  ride start.

Shorter ride then normal but will have some good challenging hill climbs (Mt.Pleasant & Olde Baseline)

Break planned for Palgrave. 

Please note that you are expected to participate in the clean-up if you wish to ride with us today. For the clean-up you should bring some suitable footware.

I will post an update here by 7am on the day if need to change or cancel ride.

Sorry I am unable to lead the tour.

Touring 2 pace. Passing through Caledon East. Lunch in Kleinburg around 50 km. Has short stretch on King which is ok if group goes single file & stays tight on right shoulder. Also sections on Countryside/Nashville road can be busy on a Saturday so single file would be recommended. Check here tomorrow morning for any changes should weather be a concern. So far it looks ok.

We will stop at the 48 KM mark - lunch in Hockley Valley - we have the option of stopping on the way back (and cutting it short) in Caledon East. Weather looks good and I am looking forward to seeing many Touring 1 participants. Should the need arise we will break the group up into different speed classes - there is 437 meters of climbing and yes there is 438 meters of decents - including Jason's favourite 3rd line from 5th line to Hockley Valley road......remember rubber side down!! During this ride it is my expectation that we obey all traffic signs...no power rolling stops, please at the very least touch the breaks Safety is the top priority and we are all responsible for each other!! There is a good chance that I will need at least one other leader. We will try as much as possible to keep together, however due to the hilly nature of the course, we will regroup at the top of the climbs. When we are together let's please ensure that everyone that wants to gets the opportunity to lead. Please refer back to this site as I will make any changes prior to 7:00 AM on Sat

CW route through Schomberg & Souptown returning via King City & Kleinberg. The stop is at the 58km mark at a new (to us) bakery discovered by Steve M. The route is rolly, total climbing of around 500m with exactly the same in descending! Aiming for low-end of Classic speed range & will post an update here by 7am on the day if anything changes.

A CW route passing through Caledon East, then North of HWY 9 on quiet roads with rolling hills. Stop for a break at around 68k at the Grackle Coffee Company in Schomberg. About 700m total ascent.

We will follow a similar route to Touring 2 with some modifications to reflect the shorter distance.

Nice little rolling ride with most of the climbing through Boston Mills before pie and coffee in Erin at Holton's Bakery or Coffee Time.  After a break, we roll downhill through Limehouse! Lots of opportunities to modify the ride depending upon how we do or if the weather changes.  Looks like a hot and sunny day on Saturday so bring water and put on your sun screen.  Average speed of 20 allowing for a slower speed on any hills. Note that I updated route guide on Thursday night.

Terra Cotta - Inglewood -  The Grange - climb Horsehill Hill - Hockley Road into Orangeville North then S on Blind Line to lunch stop (57 K).  Return using Willoughby and McLaren through Forks of the Credit - Inglewood - Old School Rd.  We will practice staying together on the climbs.
