Itinerary:

IF YOU HAVE NOT RIDDEN WITH ME BEFORE, you MUST answer in the affirmative the questions below.

This ride has quite a few hills, though not as many as the Starkville ride, and so it would be a good training opportunity. The route snakes around using many beautiful back roads that are mostly paved. There is about 4 to 5kms in total of descent quality dirt roads that we have to take. We will stay off busier roads, except for a few shortish sections that are unavoidable as we travel into and out of Uxbridge. We will eat lunch at a restaurant in Uxbridge. We will travel a slightly different route back to our cars in Goodwood to avoid some particularly steep uphill climbs. The ride will be about 65 km long.
After the ride, those who want can go for refreshments back in Toronto.

If you are driving please tell me how many people and bikes you can take INCLUDING you and your bike?

Also if you have not ridden with me before, you ABSOLUTELY MUST answer in the affirmative the following questions in the notes sections of the sign up page (for your own ease simply copy and paste the questions into the Notes section and type in your answers when you sign up):
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?
