Flat or Hilly Hampton to Newcastle/Burketon

Meet at: M J Hobbs P.S., N/W corner of Taunton and King Lane in Hampton

Date: August 4

Departure Time: 8:00

Tour Host: Cliff

Ride Lengths: 80 km flat/82 km hilly

Two 80 km rides, one is hilly, one is relatively flat (812 m vs 409 m).  The hilly stops at Blackstock for a break, the flat takes a break at Tim Horton’s in Newcastle.

Because some roads are closed for the Mosport long weekend race, the previous Hilly ride to Orono had to be heavily modified and is not as hilly. Cliff apologizes for the elevation shortage.

East vs West

This is a fun race and not to be taken seriously, please be careful on the roads! The concept of the race is to pick a side (east or west) and go to the meeting spot for that side. Everyone will leave at the same time from both locations (co-ordinated by Steve and Mark). When the two fastest riders from each side meet they will stop and record their distances and average speed. When the second fastest riders meet they will do the same and the event will continue until there are no pairs left. We will then continue to White Feather for Lunch. Mark will tabulate the results and declare the winner. More detailed instructions are available on the turn by turn’s available below.

Date: October 16

Departure Time:10:00 am

Ride Length: About 60K
