Lets go on an adventure to the east. The Grand Tour will roll through the beautiful destinations of Limehouse, Glen Williams, Terra Cotta and Belfountain, with a few decent climbs including the Forks of the Credit hairpin. Rest stop at the Belfountain Cafe around 75km into the 113km route. Note there is one short section of gravel road on the Grand Tour route, but it is very manageable on road tires.
The Petite Tour will follow the same route east, with a rest stop at the Main Street Market in Glen Williams around 45km into the 91km route. After going through Terra Cotta the Petite route will turn west towards Guelph, skipping the Belfountain section.
The weather forecast looks a little cooler, so start time is 9am to let things warm up a bit. Dress appropriately for some enjoyable hours in the saddle and bring lights for safety.
