Itinerary:

Starting in Elora, we'll ride in an easterly direction along a well-maintained railtrail as far as the village of Orton (28 kms). There used to be a general store here which sold fresh coffee and baked goods--no promises, but if this is still the case, it'll make for a nice reward. We could then either turn around and ride back along the same railtrail or come up with our own return loop following small country roads. Back in Elora, we could end the day with a drink in the Old Mill Pub, a cozy place which has great views over the Grand River.

Required Items to Bring:
Main items: bike, warm clothing and raingear, water and lunch.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
We need more cars and bike racks (or vehicles which can take bikes) if we are to expand the size of the group. If you have any of the above, please bring them (and let the organizers know that in advance).
