Aug 30th Sunday long ride | 9am
The last August club ride! A slight modification on the Orangeville-Belfountain loop. We’ll dodge onto a short section of the Elora Cataract trail through Erin (if you’ve never ridden it before, no worries, it’s really hard pack and flat). 129k total, let’s hope the forecast holds.

Some brave soul will have to assume the responsibility of ride leader that I have failed to uphold. Maryhill, Crowsfoot, the covered bridge and Elora. We (y’all)…
