Itinerary:

Over the last couple of years we have had a wonderful time cycling on the low traffic, scenic roads south of Lake Simcoe on day trips. And so why not spend the long weekend cycling in the area, camping at Sibbald Point Provincial Park?

We will drive up to Sibbald Point on Saturday morning, set up our tents and then go riding. We also plan to ride on Sunday and Monday as well. Therefore to come on this trip you should have ridden on at least a couple of 50km rides this season. Although the emphasis will be on cycling,we can also go swiming in Lake Simcoe.

We will be primarily cycling on paved roads with relatively little traffic. However, we may occasionally need to use unpaved roads and those with more traffic for short distances. Therefore to sign up you must be experienced, comfortable, and safe riding in traffic i.e. with automobiles

We will have a mandatory pre-meeting on Tuesday August 26 at 6:30pm at Chaukers. At the meeting we will discuss food, who has what camping equipment (tents, stoves, etc...), carpool arrangements and possible routes for our rides.

Now for some important questions: (for your own ease simply copy and paste the questions into the Notes section and type in your answers when you sign up).

If you have not ridden with me before, you MUST answer in the affirmative the following questions in the notes sections of the sign up page:
1. Do you agree to wear a bicycle helmet?
2. Are you experienced, comfortable, and safe riding in traffic i.e. with automobiles?
3. Are you able to bring a spare tube for your bicycle?
4. Does your bicycle fit you properly?
5. Is your bicycle in decent shape ie no rusty chain etc, working brakes?
