24 Dudes met in the Beavermeade parking lot. Conrad Hill led 9 Dudes on a ride to Trent U. John Crawford & Pat Towns led the remaining 15 Dudes on a 40 km ride to Lakefield. They cycled north on the RGWT across Parkhill Rd to the Hilliard St bridge over the Otonabee R along the city trail to Argyle St then north thru residential streets to Hilliard St then up to the Bridgenorth Trail which ends at the 7th Line of Smith Twp in Bridgenorth. Then cycled east on the 7th across the Centre Line & Buckhorn Rd to the Lakefield Rd (former Hgw 28) into Lakefield. Enjoyed lunch at The Thirsty Loon returning to Beavermeade on the RGWT. After the ride Pete MacLoghlin’s wife Chick had invited everyone to a surprise 70th birthday party for Pete at the MacLoghlin home, a neat twist to end the day’s rides! By the way everyone was able to keep  it a secret so Pete was in a state of blissful shock on his return home to a full house!
