Sept 1- Beavermeade - Douro Loop

Because of the heat wave we postponed the Bobcaygeon ride until Sept 8 meeting instead in Beavermeade for a 9:00 start. 10 Dudes turned out for this 26 km ride that takes you into the scenic Douro countryside. We cycled on the Rotary Trail to Trent U, over the pedestrian bridge, across Nassau Mills Rd to Nassau Rd. Then east on Nassau Rd to Cty Rd 8 (Warsaw Rd) & the Doruo 7th Line intersection. Continued south on the 7th Line across Division Rd, where the 7th Line becomes Sweeney Line to the Old Norwood Rd. Turned right on to the Old Norwood Rd, cycling west to Television Rd (Cty Rd 35). Here you have 2 options, #1 is to continue west on the Old Norwood Rd to Ashburnham Dr. #2 is to cycle south on Television Rd to Manice Ave which takes you beside Liftlock Golfland to Ashburnham Dr. We arrived back in Beavermeade at 10:45 so managed to avoid the intense heat.The bottom 2 photos were taken on Nassau Rd, the 3rd photo of the group is at the junction of Nassau & Cty Rd 8, the 4th photo of Pete Gardner shows the 7th Line from this intersection, photos 5 & 6 were taken on the 7th Line, 7 & 8 on Sweeney & the last 2 photos are on the Old Norwood Rd, just before it crosses Television Rd. The top photo with Jim in the foreground shows the Old Norwood Rd heading west into Peterborough.
