Itinerary:

IF YOU SIGN UP you MUST answer the questions below

This ride takes us north out of the urbanized GTA into the countryside within 6 kms on relatively low traffic roads. We will then travel mostly west on beautiful country roads through horse and other types of farmland to the village of Carlisle. The ride has lots of small hills, a few medium sized ones and a couple of big ones, including one which my knee insisted I walk up. We will eat lunch at a general store in Carlisle. They sell only very basic food like pizza slices, hamburgers and hot dogs. And so you may wish to bring your lunch instead of buying it. We will then retrace our route back to Oakville.

We will meet at Union Station at the GO ticket wickets in the lower level - near Bay Street, at 9:25 am about 20 minutes before the train leaves. We will buy return tickets and use the elevator to get our bikes to the platform. Ideally, there should only be a maximum of 4 bikes to a carriage, two at each end. Bikes are places behind and in front of the 2 vertical steel poles, next to the seats as you walk in the door. Please allow passengers to get on board first. After a 40-minute train ride we will disembark at the Oakville GO station

If you would like, you can meet us at Oakville GO Station at 10:20 am. on the north side of the tracks in the parking lot.

We will probably catch the 5:28 or the 6:28 pm train back to Union station
