Long weekend, long ride!
Looks like the heat will be back for Sunday, so we’ll have an early start, hope to miss the worst of it, and be home in time to enjoy the day… or nap… then enjoy the day!
This one has tastes of the BGR so if you missed it or loved it, here’s an opportunity to ride some of the same roads plus a whole lot more. We’ll head out towards Belwood Conservation Area, then make our way over to Alma, zig-zag our way through Mennonite country then back home along the G2G.
For those who prefer, there will be a shorter 90km option, taking a more direct route back from Alma. Load both routes, just in case!
There will be a stop at The Right Spot in Alma after 50km, where we can fuel up on baked goods and refill bottles.
Bring money for a coffee stop. Tail lights are a good idea.
Load the route on your bike computer if you have one, here’s how.
